Job: Seed Saver, Jubilee Farm – Carnation, Washington

Title: Seed Saver, Jubilee Farm Type: Full-time, Year-round Location: Carnation, Washington Compensation: An hourly wage for this position will be based on degree of experience; on-farm housing is possible. Start Date: March 1, 2011 Jubilee Farm is accepting applications for a full-time person to establish an on-farm, seed-saving program. Jubilee Farm is located on the Snoqualmie River in Carnation, WA.  The farm was first certified organic in 1995.  After many years of organic farming, we have now for several years been transitioning into biodynamic farming.   Biodynamic farmers generally believe that sustainability in its strongest sense means that a farm should subsist without off-farm inputs.   We’ve worked for years at developing on-farm fertility; this spring we are ready for the next stage in our farm’s attempt to become sustainable: on-farm seed-saving.
