This position will focus on learning the nuances of our diverse sustainable practices and applications, in order to be able to holistically and wholeheartedly understand and teach the work we do. Tasks will include engaging farm visitors (including RTB volunteers) of all ages in service learning, experiential education, and a wide range of inquiry-based learning projects; hands-on gardening; food processing; and various sustainability initiatives. Our Education Assistant may also participate in shared community cooking, food preservation, monthly Open Farm Days, our Manifest Love Food Truck, and occasional support of other farm projects as needed.
