Farm & Creamery Assistant - Shepherd Moon Farm & Creamery
Shepherd Moon Farm and Creamery is a small-scale, queer‑led sheep dairy and creamery. 2026 will be our second season of cheese production. We milk sheep, produce artisan cheese, practice managed intensive rotational grazing, and raise grass‑fed lamb. We have two young draft horses that we plan to train for farm work and raise a few whey‑fed pigs each year. Our goal is to develop a worker‑owned operation.
Job Description
We are seeking a part‑time employee for the 2026 season. This person should have an interest in learning about small‑scale dairy and cheesemaking, shepherding, and managed intensive/rotational grazing. Prior experience is not required. A desire to learn, an ability to work independently, and a flexible schedule will help the employee thrive.
Logistics: The employment period is flexible, from late March or May 1 to mid‑October or end‑November. Hours will vary week to week depending on the season, tasks, and individual preferences. Work will be seasonal and may be done alongside Dani or independently.
Job Duties: 15–20 hours per week.
- Milking 2‑3 times per week once trained, including set‑up and wash‑up.
- Grazing chores, taking down and setting up electronet fencing, and moving the sheep.
- Mowing paths for fences.
- Weedwaacking and clearing fencing lines to maintain them.
- Affinage: caring for, brushing, and flipping cheeses.
- Packing cheese for retail sales.
- Washing up in the cheeseroom.
Compensation: $15 per hour, onsite housing, and some farm food. Our tiny house on the farm is well‑insulated, has running water, internet, electricity, a wood stove, a full kitchen, a shower, a compost/bucket toilet, and a washing machine in the milkhouse. Meals are provided with pork, lamb, and seasonal vegetables; you are responsible for other meals.
