About the Farm
It’s Giving Farm is an ecological farm at the northern tip of Rouge National Urban Park in Uxbridge/Altona, Ontario. We grow a mix of annual vegetables and cut flowers on 4 acres. We farm using organic and regenerative practices with a four-wheel tractor and simple hand tools. We grow primarily for our farmers markets and wholesale clients across the GTA.

About You
We’re looking for individuals eager to work on a small-scale, high-production vegetable farm. The ideal candidate either sees themselves farming in the future or has a strong passion for it. This job demands physical and mental stamina—you must be able to lift 50+ pounds regularly and work long, active days on your feet in all weather conditions: rain, wind, heat, and sun.
We value hard work, efficiency, and attention to detail. You should be comfortable working both independently and in a team, as most days involve a mix of both. If repetitive tasks frustrate you, this may not be the right fit. Farming requires hustle, skill, and creativity—we take pride in doing it well. Success here means working quickly, communicating effectively, and taking ownership of the farm’s success.
We want team members who appreciate the beauty of farming, can embrace its challenges, and find humor in the hard parts. It’s not easy work, but it’s deeply rewarding.
