Work With Sole Food
Every season, we employ up to 40 farmers on a casual, part-time and full time basis.
Our focus is on providing low-barrier, supported employment for people connected to or with lived experience in the Downtown Eastside community who face barriers such as unemployment, poverty, housing instability, health challenges, or substance use.
Our employment program runs primarily from May to October, with some limited shoulder season (November to April) opportunities.
If you are an individual seeking employment who identifies with any of these barriers or if you are a social or vocational worker seeking employment for your clients, please reach out. If we are actively hiring, we will set up time to chat! If we are not actively hiring and you or your client are a mission fit, we will add you to our waitlist. We are not currently hiring.

We have several options for how you or your group can come to the farm. Please be aware that we book up fast and the summer is busy so please contact us ahead of time if you are interested.
