Our operations are split between our two farm sites in south Duncan and Chemainus. I am willing to coordinate the majority of the work to which ever site is closest however there must be willingness to work at either location.

And Learning about farming and growing food!

Growing food and farming is no doubt not an easy job but it is extremely rewarding. It’s exceptional exercise for the body and mind. You will learn invaluable skills and knowledge and participate in a community benefiting operation.

Please message, contact Jordan directly 2505104626 or pop into Valley Roots Market with a resume and say hi!
