Part-Time Farm Assistant
About the Organization:
Regenerative California is a nonprofit organization partnering with communities to create regional regenerative economies. Through convening, capital and policy alignment, and co-creating blueprints for systems change, Regenerative California is working toward a California where strong communities, restored ecosystems, and lasting prosperity grow together.
At the heart of this work is Regenerate 68! Farm — a 68-acre working demonstration site located just off Highway 68 in Monterey County on the historic Ferrini Ranch. Launched in 2025, the farm is a living classroom for regenerative organic agriculture training and outcomes-based farming practices, led by innovators in soil health, biodiversity, and climate resilience. By growing nutrient-rich crops using regenerative methods that restore soil, sequester carbon, increase biodiversity, and conserve water, the farm embodies the future of food that Regenerative California is working to build.
Position Summary:
Regenerative California is seeking a passionate and driven Farm Assistant to join the team at Regenerate 68! Farm, starting immediately through November 15, 2026. This is a part-time role (20–30 hours/week) working side-by-side with Regenerative California’s Farm Manager to learn, build, and manage a regenerative organic farm from the ground up.
No prior farming experience is required — just the drive to make a meaningful difference by building living soil and growing food that nourishes communities. This is a rare opportunity to get paid to learn the craft of next-generation farming while contributing to a mission with real regional and statewide impact.
Primary Responsibilities
The Farm Assistant will be involved in all aspects of farm operations, including:
Design and implementation of farm systems and infrastructure
Field and nursery work
Seeding and transplanting
Irrigation management and pest management
Harvest, wash, and pack operations
Operation of BCS tractor and various farm tools
Distribution support and community relationship-building
The Ideal Candidate
You are someone who believes in the power of soil — and you’re ready to get your hands in it. You don’t need years of farming experience; what you bring is curiosity, grit, and a genuine desire to be part of something bigger than yourself.
You are bilingual and able to communicate effectively with a diverse team and community. You are a solutions-oriented self-starter who thrives in a dynamic outdoor environment and doesn’t shy away from physical work or changing weather conditions. You show up ready to learn, contribute ideas, and grow into a leadership role on the farm.
You care about regenerative practices not just as a job, but as a way of engaging with the land and the people who depend on it. You’re the kind of person who builds trust naturally — with your team, with chefs, with neighbors, and with the soil itself.
Specific Experience Requested:
We recognize that each applicant will bring unique skills, knowledge, and lived experiences to this role. We welcome diverse backgrounds and perspectives, and will be looking for candidates who possess many, but not necessarily all, of the following:
Bilingual (English/Spanish strongly preferred)
Able to perform manual labor outdoors in varying weather conditions
Self-motivated with a solutions-oriented mindset
Strong interpersonal skills and ability to work collaboratively
Eagerness to learn farm operations, equipment, and regenerative practices
Experience or interest in agriculture, environmental work, or community food systems is a plus!
