2026 Opportunities
Available vhf Positions
Milkers/livestock Support (see below)
Garden Incubator (see below)
We have decided to shake things up in the garden for the 2026 season (and beyond) and are currently offering two different opportunities for the space.
One is a full time Garden Manager position, but is built around transitioning our garden to focus more on perennial herb/flower production, apothecary program growth, and season extension. For more details and to apply for this role check out our Good Food Jobs Post.
Our other option is to offer our garden and season extension area as an incubator space for a farmer looking for land access. We know there are a lot of folks out there who have the skills and drive to run their own successful produce farm, but are limited due to the expense of land leasing or purchasing. This would give someone the opportunity to run their own business within Verdant Hollow Farms all the while benefiting from a mutual partnership. The outlines of an agreement would need to be established and are subject to the candidate and their interests, however, I have listed some guidelines below for your reference.
