Job Description: 

Beetlebung Farm is a 6-acre, regenerative market-garden where hand-driven farming, food and craftsmanship intersect. Located on Martha’s Vineyard, less than five minutes from the ocean, we grow roughly an acre of vegetables, herbs, berries and flowers using regenerative farming techniques and working largely with our hands. Our farm is in the heart of the town of Chilmark, neighboring the library, the community center, a school, Town Hall and a dance performance center. Part of our mission is to support the agricultural, culinary and creative community that we are a part of, which means we are open, collaborative and always learning.
