Novices are Welcome!

Previous farming experience is not required to work at New Hannah Farm. In fact, we actually encourage anyone with a farming background to adopt a “beginner’s mind” when learning about our systems and methodologies.

All employees are cross-trained to participate in nearly every part of the operation. Click HERE to see the complete training overview!

We aspire to teach principles and skills that are fundamental, deeply practical, and highly transferable beyond the scope of agriculture.

Our training strategy is designed to empower you with a sense of resourcefulness and creative agency.
