The best place to begin your search for organic work is the Internet. In fact, the web has just about become the main place for people to look for any type of job, including farm and garden jobs. There are many farms out there looking for someone who is not afraid to get dirty on a part time job. There might be some full time positions out there, but most of them are part time.
Some people have found work with organic food by posting their resume and their desire to have such a job on craigslist. By getting your interests out there, you will find that you will eventually land the job that you have been looking for. There are spots on various job-seeking sites where you can upload your resume and discuss the type of work that you are looking for. Believe it or not, many employers do search through those listings to find employees as this saves them the expense of posting their own advertisement because most employers have to pay while job seekers do not.
If you find that the Internet search for organic jobs does not prove as promising as you would have hoped, there are still more ways to find work. You can pick up your local phone book and look through the listings that are found under the heading "organic farms". Call the different places you find and simply ask if they are hiring anyone. You should not have a problem finding someone that is looking for help. Before you know it, you could be meeting them to discuss organic food and interviewing for a job.
You have the best chance at finding work if you are calling during the time when most of the crops in your area are ready to be harvested. All of the crops on an organic farm have to be gathers, then cleaned, packed correctly, and then shipped off to their various locations. With so much to do, it would be hard to believe that there is any organic farm out there that is not in need of a little help. Even if they think that they are correctly staffed, some people end up quitting because working on a farm is hard work and it is dirty work on top of that. Eventually you should have no trouble finding work with organic products.
For the time being, until you find work on an organic farm, you will want to make sure that you are learning as much about the entire process as possible. The more knowledgeable you are, the more likely you are to get work. Do some research online, hit the local library, or even ask to visit and tour a local organic farm, just so you can see everything first hand.
There might even be some classes on organic farming that you might want to sign up for. Not only will you learn a lot about the process but also you might be able to find connections to work this way. Make sure that you are talking with people about your desire to actually work on an organic farm and you just never know who might have some valuable information on farm jobs for you.
As you can see, finding the work that you have always wanted to do is easy enough. As long as you are willing to learn, work hard and get very dirty, you will be a shoe in for any job that you come across. Make sure that you are polite and show that you are willing and able to follow instructions and the owner of the farm will hire you in the blink of an eye.
