We are looking for hardworking, self-directed individuals with a strong work ethic and excellent attention to detail. Crew members are involved in many aspects of the farm including: harvesting, bed preparation, seeding, transplanting, cultivation, and farmers markets.

About Roots Farm:
We are a certified organic, diversified vegetable farm in Tiverton, RI. We practice no-till, regenerative agriculture, and building healthy soil is our focus. We use six unheated, moveable high tunnels for year-round growing, producing fresh veggies that are sold primarily through our summer and winter farmshare (CSA) programs and three farmers markets. We strive to produce the most nutrient dense crops for the health of the soil, vegetables, and customers.
