Finding Agricultural Jobs in the Northeast
- EMassCRAFT – a great starting place for apprenticeship resources in eastern Massachusetts.
- The relatively new Sustainable Food Jobs & Good Food Jobs websites are nice clearinghouses.
- For an updated list we recommend viewing ATTRA’s Nov. 2010 response to the question: What are some resources for advertising and finding sustainable agriculture jobs?
For more information about farming jobs along the South Coast, please contact us and see our local agricultural opportunities tip sheet.
