ABOUT US
County Rail Farm is a small diverse Organic & Organically Grown farm located in Western Montana, just west of Missoula. County Rail is run by Tracy Potter-Fins and Bethany Stanbery. Tracy mostly runs the field side of things and Bethany mostly runs the post harvest side of things. County Rail grows 3ish acres of vegetables and flowers using a BCS walk behind tractor and a four wheel cultivating tractor. Some of our main crops include microgreens, arugula, cherry tomatoes, garlic, peonies, roses, and tulips. We welcome a variety of friends, visitors, and volunteers to the farm every summer, and enjoy the energy and excitement that they bring to our lives. Our employees are an incredibly important part of our operation, both for growing produce and also for welcoming the community to the farm throughout the season. We grow for the Saturday Clark Fork Farmers Market in Missoula, sell wholesale through the Western Montana Growers Coop, and have our own wholesale floral market (Petal House). We are an easy 20min drive from Missoula proper, close to hiking and fishing spots, and a short walk or drive from swimming spots along the Clark Fork River.

DAY TO DAY
We seek to provide a work experience that is demanding without being grueling. You will be working with Tracy and Bethany, other employees, each other, and alone. Your responsibilities will vary through the season and work requires physical labor, repetitive movements, and the ability to take direction as well as self-motivate. We believe in hard work, having time to play, and taking care of ourselves and each other.

EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES
As our employees, you gain first hand experience and detailed knowledge about how a small scale operation like ours functions. You will be privy to many conversations about how we do what we do. We are generally happy to share what knowledge we have about plants, animals, insects, tractors, trucks, and business plans. That said, we are always learning ourselves and you may find yourself learning with us as well as from us. 

MEALS
We take a full hour (unpaid) to eat lunch and rest every work day. Tracy cooks lunch one day a week which also serves as our staff meeting for the week, that lunch hour is paid.
