Assistant Chief Urban Farmer

MicroHabitat Urban Agriculture

Where Urban Farming Meets Community Connection

Do you light up when teaching others about where their food comes from? Are you the person who remembers the details—the client's favourite crop, the team member's professional goals, the question someone asked three visits ago? MicroHabitat is looking for an Assistant Chief Urban Farmer who can grow vegetables and relationships with equal skill.

About MicroHabitat

We operate the world's largest private urban farming network—250+ farms across 13+ cities, with expansion plans to 30+ cities by 2026. Our farms live on rooftops, patios, and terraces of corporate clients, residential buildings, and community spaces. We don't just grow food; we create experiences that reconnect people with agriculture in the heart of their cities.

The Role

This is a seasonal position (approximately March–November) for someone who thrives at the intersection of horticulture and hospitality. You'll spend your days tending crops, leading workshops, delighting clients, and supporting a team that takes pride in every interaction.

What You'll Do:

Educate & Animate

  • Lead engaging workshops, harvest events, and educational sessions for groups of all ages and backgrounds
  • Transform farm visits into memorable experiences that spark curiosity about urban agriculture
  • Communicate the story of our growing practices with warmth and expertise

Client Relationship Excellence

  • Serve as a trusted point of contact for high-touch clients, anticipating needs before they're expressed
  • Track client preferences, feedback, and history with meticulous attention to detail
  • Handle inquiries and concerns with professionalism, turning challenges into opportunities for deeper connection

Team Support & Collaboration

  • Support and mentor Urban Farming Coordinators and seasonal staff with trust, care, and respect
  • Keep accurate records of team activities, development goals, and performance
  • Foster a culture where every team member feels seen, supported, and valued

Farming Operations

  • Assist with planting, maintenance, and harvesting across multiple urban farm sites
  • Monitor crop health and coordinate with the Chief Urban Farmer on growing plans
  • Contribute to installation, seasonal transitions, and site management

Who You Are

  • A natural educator: You can make composting fascinating and explain photosynthesis to a five-year-old or a CEO with equal ease
  • Client-relationship savvy: Experience managing high-touch clients in hospitality, agriculture, events, or a service-driven industry
  • Genuinely detail-oriented: You keep track of the small things because you know they matter to people
  • Emotionally intelligent: You lead with trust, care, and respect—these aren't just words to you
  • Experienced grower: 2+ years in urban agriculture, horticulture, or hands-on farming
  • Organized & reliable: Comfortable managing multiple clients, sites, and team dynamics simultaneously
  • Physically capable: Able to lift 25 kg, work on your feet for extended periods, and thrive outdoors in sun, rain, and everything in between

Bonus Points:

  • Experience facilitating workshops, tours, or group programming
  • Bilingual (especially French for Canadian markets)
  • Background in hospitality, education, or community engagement
  • Valid driver's license

Why MicroHabitat?

Meaningful work — Connect communities to their food in tangible, daily ways

People-first culture — Join a team that genuinely values care and respect at every level

Growth potential — Seasonal roles can lead to year-round opportunities as we expand

Urban innovation — Be part of a movement redefining how cities feed themselves

Details

  • Location: Toronto
  • Type: Seasonal (approximately March–November)
  • Compensation: $24.00/Hour
    Reports to: Chief Urban Farmer / Director of Farming

Ready to grow food, relationships, and community?

We'd love to hear from you.
