Farm Hand
Happy Farm
Posted 18 days ago
Location: Hawkesbury Region, Sydney NSW
Job Type: Full-time and Contract Work Available
About Us
We’re a small, family-run organic farm on the beautiful Hawkesbury-Nepean River. We grow vegetables using no-till, regenerative practices, and keep chickens and cows as supporting enterprises. Our mission is to farm, trade, and eat responsibly and ethically — and to create something truly beautiful and meaningful in the process. We’re still very much a work in progress, so we’re looking for someone who’s keen to grow with us.
About the Role
This role is ideal for someone with a strong work ethic, a willingness to learn, and a genuine interest in sustainability. Prior farm experience is great, but not essential — the right attitude matters most. This Farm Hand role will require lots of landscape management including a fair amount of removing undesired invasive plants on difficult terrain using a variety of hand tools. The right person for this role will know how to use landscaping power tools (whippersnipper, hedge trimmer, etc.) and hand tools (pruners, shovels, etc.). They will also be a hard worker willing to work alone and with others. Someone who just wants to show up and get to work and complete their tasks competently and efficiently will fit well. Someone who will do all of that and is also keen to be a part of a developing farm team who are creating something special will fit perfectly well.
Key Tasks You Will Help With
Landscaping tasks (pruning and planting decorative and functional ornamentals/native plants, managing invasive species through removal by hand, spreading compost/mulch, etc.)
Daily care of livestock (cows and chickens currently, other animals in future likely)
Maintenance of electric fencing and water systems
General farm repairs and infrastructure upkeep
Monitoring stock and feed levels; ordering and restocking supplies
Accurate record-keeping and farm data tracking
Supporting seasonal farm projects and following farm protocols
All tasks related to growing organic vegetables (sowing seeds, weeding beds, tending to compost, transplanting, etc.)
Various other farm related tasks
