Good Work, Done by Good People
Careers Rooted in Santa Cruz and the Greater South Bay
We look for people who already love this work, whether that's grown from a garden of their own, a season on a farm, or years spent building things well. Orchard Keepers has spent twenty years caring for edible and ecological landscapes across Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz County, Los Gatos, Saratoga, Portola Valley, Atherton, and the greater South Bay, and we're always glad to hear from people who want to make a career of it.
We keep it simple: professional but personable. That means doing the work right and treating each other, and every client, with real kindness. Most of our team are gardeners and growers themselves, trained through the year, and we take care of our own with health insurance and retirement benefits for full-time staff.
If you'd rather be outside than anywhere else, you'll fit right in.
