About the farm: Steadfast Acres is a diversified vegetable farm growing 3-4 acres of produce for CSA, Farmers Market & Wholesale in Madison and Spring Green. We are certified organic. Crew members can expect to participate in most areas of the day to day farm operations. At our scale, the day to day focus is hand labor. Field work (weeding / transplanting), harvest, and washing, sorting, counting storage, and pack of vegetables for either the Farm Shares, Wholesale, Farmers Market and other orders. A large percentage of the work will be working with one or both of us, but there will also be an expectation that once you are trained on a task that you can work independently or as part of a crew.
