Farm Staff Positions
( VOLUNTEERS - SCROLL DOWN FOR SEPARATE VOLUNTEERING DETAILS )
Joyfully Organic Farm is a skilled, successful and dynamic Certified Local Organic vegetable farm in the Greater Toronto Area. We have a deep love of amazing food + strong farming practices. We have an awesome community of customers who share our love of eating well! We provide food for prominent Farmers Markets in Toronto, a large CSA, and wholesale relationships to local food purveyors.
Joyfully Organic Farm focuses on lean operational efficiencies, bio-intensive planting, multi-successions, high yields per acreage, and laughing a lot. Our farm engages in a high-output model of vegetable production. The farm maximizes the efficiencies of two unique and distinct farm production systems. Some crops are grown on a 30 inch bed system with the use of walking tractors and managed with hand tools. This method was developed by Elliot Coleman and popularized by Jean-Martin Fortier. While other crops are grown in a tractor based system designed by our farm, that retains the strengths and efficiencies of the smaller tool production system, but leverages the efficiency of farming with tractors.
