Description
Verdegreens Farms is a fast-growing hydroponic and no-till organic urban farm located in Houston, Texas. We are seeking interested and highly motivated candidates to join a rapidly expanding team of people dedicated to making a saner and more sustainable food future for all. Located on two acres in the north Houston area of Acres Homes, Verdegreens Farms is primarily a hydroponic greenhouse grower specializing in leafy greens, culinary herbs, and microgreens. We are looking for greenhouse specialists who have experience with hydroponic and no-till organic growing methods, or who have a willingness and passion to learn about such systems.

Opportunities to represent the farm at local farmers markets and to manage relationships with local chefs are also available.
