About the role
Organic Farmer / Gardener
Come Get Your Hands Dirty at Sorrel
Sorrel River Ranch is a Four-Diamond luxury guest ranch tucked along the Colorado River, surrounded by towering red-rock cliffs, wide-open skies, and 240 acres of incredible Southern Utah landscape.
And yes—we have a garden. A big one.
Our organic farm and garden help supply fresh, seasonal produce to the restaurant and mercantile while giving our guests a chance to experience a little hands-on ranch life. We believe good food starts with healthy soil, happy plants, and people who genuinely care about what they’re growing.
If you’d rather spend your day outside than behind a desk, enjoy getting your hands dirty, and want to learn more about organic farming and permaculture, we’d love to have you join the team.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Planting, watering, weeding, harvesting, and caring for our crops. * Helping care for our orchard, greenhouse, and growing spaces. * Installing, maintaining, and troubleshooting irrigation. * Building compost and helping improve soil health. * Learning and practicing permaculture and organic growing techniques. * Keeping our garden productive, healthy, and beautiful. * Helping create fun farm and garden experiences for our guests. * Pitching in with the team when something needs to get done.
What We’re Looking For
We’re looking for someone who is:
* Curious and eager to learn. * Hardworking and not afraid to get a little dirty. * Passionate about plants, food, farming, or the environment. * Positive, dependable, and good at solving problems. * Comfortable working independently and as part of a team. * Friendly and comfortable interacting with guests. * Able to lift and carry up to 50 lbs. * Ready to work outdoors and enjoy the Moab sunshine, seasons, and everything that comes with them.
Organic farming or gardening experience is a plus. A Bachelor’s degree is preferred, but we care just as much about your attitude, work ethic, and willingness to learn.
Why Sorrel?
Because your office might be a field.

And when you need a break, there’s a river and some pretty spectacular red rocks waiting for you.
