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. We believe that our model of growing food for humans is the way of the future and are looking to hire forward-looking and hard working individuals who share that belief! Greenhouse specialists will be responsible for seeding, harvesting, and packing a wide variety of hydroponic and organic produce, maintaining hydroponic irrigation systems, guaranteeing a clean and sanitary greenhouse environment, helping with selection and testing of new varieties to grow, and a wide range of "many-hats" tasks around the farm. Opportunities to represent the farm at local farmers markets and to manage relationships with local chefs are also available.
