Newton Community Farm is a 2.25 acre intensive market garden, including two moveable high tunnels, one smaller high tunnel, and two propagation greenhouses. We utilize both tillage and no-till practices. We are incorporated as a non-profit and offer educational programming and public events.
Our markets include a Summer CSA, Late Fall CSA, Fruit Share, Flower Share, farm stand, weekly farmers’ market, and weekly food donations. In the spring we hold a seedling sale during which approximately 30,000 seedlings are grown and sold to the public.
Our goal is to farm in a way that is sustainable not only for the land but also for our workers.

Field Crew, 2025 Season
Our field crew works closely with the Farm Manager, Assistant Farm Manager, and Assistant Grower in all aspects of farm operations. The field crew position requires excellent people skills and attention to detail while working in a fast-paced environment. Field crew should be able to work independently and with limited supervision. Openness to learning new skills and techniques is essential and works both ways: we encourage our crew to share their skills and past experiences here at NCF. This is a physically demanding job requiring the ability to lift, bend, squat, kneel, etc., and do so in all weather conditions.
We are looking for two field crew members to join us for the 2025 season. We have some flexibility with the number of hours (between 20 and 40 hrs/week) and start and end dates. If you are not sure if the schedule is a good fit for you, please reach out to us to see if we can find a schedule that works.
