The Morning Glory farmstand crew is always friendly and helpful.
Working at Morning Glory Farm is a great way to experience living on Martha’s Vineyard. We even have some staff housing right here on the farm. Beautiful South Beach and bustling downtown Edgartown are short bike rides away and the year-round, all-Island bus service stops right in front of the farmstand. And employees living off-site who take the bus, ride a bike or walk to the farm get a $4 bonus for every day they don’t drive a car to work.
Lydia Silva is the farm’s Fruit Chief, in charge of tomatoes, melons, squash and peppers.
What is it like to work at Morning Glory Farm? The days can start early and there’s a lot of heavy lifting, but we also get breaks and all kinds of free food. Everyone gathers at noon for a substantial farm lunch that includes vegetarian/vegan options and is usually accompanied by a cake, pies or other dessert from the bakery.
Once every summer we have a staff barbecue and talent night when everyone can perform. The Athearns throw seasonal staff parties as well.
The Athearn family and other managers sincerely value every worker, and mutual respect is assumed throughout the farm. Whenever possible, management will work to accommodate your schedule if you also have another job.
Some of our employees have been with us for many seasons; former staffers have raised kids who’ve come to work for us. Morning Glory Farm crew members have gone on to run other farms and businesses; we can also claim Martha’s Vineyard Poet Laureate Justin Ahren and young adult novelist Mary Marshall Highet among our many alumni/ae.
Whether you’re looking for work for this fall, next summer or many seasons to come, we’d like to hear from you. If you have any questions, please email jim@morninggloryfarm.com. Apply online now—it’s easy! »»
