Work outdoors, on a farm with a mission bigger than any one job.
Crown Point is a small team running 115 certified organic acres, a CSA, a farmer training program, summer camp, and a full season of public events — which means the work here is rarely just one thing. Here's what it's actually like to work at Crown Point, and how to get on our radar even when nothing's posted.
Why Work at Crown Point
The Work Is Never Just One Thing
Farm operations, education, events, and community programs all run through a small team — you're not boxed into one narrow function, the way you might be at a larger organization.
A Mission You Can Point To
171 years of continuous farming, a CSA that's fed families since 1998, and a refugee farming partnership that gives land directly to the people who need it — the mission isn't abstract here.
Real Transparency, Even Internally
Crown Point holds a GuideStar Platinum Seal of Transparency — the same openness that applies to donors applies to how the organization runs.
Full-Time & Year-Round Roles
The core functions that keep Crown Point running, even when none of them are currently hiring.
Farm Operations
Running the CSA, Farm Stand, and Summit Fresh Mobile Market — the day-to-day work of a working organic farm.
Education & Programs
Camp, field trips, and community programs like Backyard Chickens 101 and Rise and Shine on the Farm.
Marketing, Events & Administration
Everything from Dead at Harvest to the office that keeps the whole organization running.
These are the kinds of roles that exist at Crown Point year-round — see Staff & Board to meet who holds them today.
Seasonal & Paid Training Roles
Open on a predictable seasonal cycle, even when full-time staff positions aren't.
Regenerative Farmer Training Program
A full-time, paid, 8-month position — $15/hour, 4 spots per season. The closest thing Crown Point has to an entry-level farming job.

Summer Camp Staff
Seasonal counselor and camp leadership roles open each spring for the summer season.

Seasonal Event Support
Crown Point runs a full season of public events, from Dead at Harvest to Taste of Earth and Meadow Music. Seasonal opportunities open around the event calendar.

Volunteering Is a Different Path — and It's Always Open
Employment and volunteering aren't the same thing, and Crown Point always has room for the second one, even with zero paid openings. If a farm work day, event crew, or ongoing volunteer role sounds more like what you're looking for than a job, that's a separate, always-active opportunity.
Equal Employment Opportunity
Crown Point Ecology Center provides equal employment opportunities (EEO) to all employees and applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, marital status, military obligations, or veteran status.
