Agriculture/Farm Operations and Production

The Fagerberg family has been farming in Weld county since the 1880's.  We are now a large scale farming operation focused on growing 1500 acres of onions in northern Colorado.  These onions are ultimately shipped to grocery stores and food services nationwide.  Fagerberg Farms is in need of a self motivated individual to work and learn about the intricacies of growing an onion crop.  This employee will be taught how to read soil attributes/conditions and their relation to onion growth patterns, plus chemical types and when to apply them.  This individual will also learn to troubleshoot and navigate our advanced underground "drip" irrigation system and overhead pivots.  Some farming experience or background is required, as is the ability to perform basic mechanical shop work.  Most importantly, we are searching for an individual who is passionate about farming.  Our goal at Fagerberg Farms is to keep the cleanest, most organized farms - please visit our website to get an impression of this.  As with most agricultural jobs, hours of operation vary greatly depending on the time of year and are permitted by weather.  Generally speaking, Spring (planting) and Fall (harvest) are our busiest times of year.  This employee will work alongside a handful of other farming production operatives and under our farm manager.
