Massaro Community Farm has been supplying the community with fresh, organic vegetables and events for over a dozen years. Thanks to our reputation for quality produce and a commitment to regenerative practices we've seen the demand for that produce increase with time. We've also seen an increased demand for outdoor activities in the last several years.
Thanks to these demands and our own careful planning, we've added several new positions to our farm crew in 2022. Below is a short list of positions the farm is currently recruiting for:
- Full time Educational Program Director - oversees themes and content of adult and youth educational programs happening on the farm and with community partners. Supported by the assistant education director and part time education staff.

- Food and garden liaison - the farm maintains its commitment to donate at least 10% of its harvest all season long to hunger relief. This often means acting quickly to place fresh produce with pantries and soup kitchens. It also includes facilitating seeds, supplies and volunteerism at 12 community gardens across the Naugatuck Valley.
- Part-time educators - the farm programming for children, especially ages 3-18, is currently limited to the number of educators we have on staff. If you come on board, we can increase the number of classes of weekend explorers, after school programs and field trips we can offer!
