Operations Assistant

Overview

Farmbox Greens is a Charlie's Produce Company. At Farmbox we are dedicated to changing where and how great produce is grown. Since planting our first seeds in 2011, our team has created a sustainable urban farm where the harvest cycle is days, not months. Our hydroponic, vertical farm uses 90 percent less water than traditional agriculture, is pesticide- and herbicide-free, and we harvest tender microgreens daily, regardless of season.

We grow in square feet, not acres. We use energy‑efficient LED lights in a fully climate-controlled facility to consistently produce the freshest greens that can be on a customer’s plate within hours of harvest.

From our Seattle farm located in the SODO neighborhood, we supply microgreens to local marketplaces and hundreds of loyal restaurants all over the Pacific Northwest. At Farmbox Greens we work hard because we believe that food should be grown responsibly, locally, and taste delicious.

We are seeking a hardworking, detail‑oriented, self‑starter to add to our team to help with day‑to‑day production and farm operations.
