About

About Our Farm: Round Hill Ranch was founded in 2020 in Foster, Rhode Island. Our mission is to create a way of life that we can pass on to our family and neighbors that reflects our passion for animals and for God. We serve the community by providing a local source of fresh beef, pork, chicken, and eggs. Round Hill Ranch also breeds Nigerian Dwarf goats, Nubian goats, Lamancha goats, and various mixed breeds from time to time! We have gone on many farming endeavors, and we are excited for this next step in our journey!

Job Description: We are looking for a seasonal worker to assist with farmers’ markets in the RI, MA, and CT areas. This job is for working winter farmers’ markets and/or craft fairs.

Pay includes setup time and one hour after the market to account for breakdown and travel.
