Full-time and part-time field crew positions
at Dooryard Farm in Camden
*now accepting applications for 2025 positions*
Dooryard Farm is a small family-run farm serving the Camden-Rockland area. Founded in 2013, we grow a diversity of vegetable crops and raise a few animals. We are proudly MOFGA certified organic and dedicated to an ecological approach to agriculture where our primary goal is building and maintaining soil fertility. We utilize a combination of tractor-scale and hand-scale growing methods. Roughly 75% of our sales are from an on-site farm store with the remainder from local direct marketing to restaurants, co-ops, etc.
Our crew helps us care for our land and animals, operate a financially sustainable business and provide our community with fresh, local, delicious nutritious produce. Our positions are seasonal and we typically accept applications from November to March (or until filled) for positions that run from April/May to October/November.
