What Is Seed Crew?
Seed Crew is The Food Project's entry-level paid summer youth program for 72 teens from Greater Boston and the North Shore. Youth work mornings on urban and suburban farms in Boston, Lincoln, Lynn, and Wenham to grow vegetables and distribute thousands of pounds of produce. Afternoons focus on workshops about sustainable agriculture, food access, social justice, leadership, teamwork, workplace skills, civic participation, and community.
The current page describes a six-week job of about 28-32 hours per week, paid at $15.50 per hour. Applicants must be ages 14-17, be 14 by June 1, complete eighth grade by July 1, be available every day of the full program, submit a recommendation from a nonfamily adult, and complete an interview if invited. Summer 2026 applications are closed; the page offers a newsletter for Summer 2027 updates but no 2027 deadline or dates.
