Urban Agriculture Educator/Teaching Farmer

Grow Minds. Grow Food. Grow Community.

Mi Oh My Farms (MOM) is hiring an Urban Agriculture Educator/Teaching Farmer to bring superfoods science to NYC classrooms.

Imagine walking into a school in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Harlem, or Staten Island and watching a 10-year-old's eyes light up the moment their microgreens break the soil. That's your Monday morning.

At MOM, we believe every young person deserves to know where their food comes from - and the power to grow it themselves. Our Urban Agriculture Educators bring that vision to life every day, delivering hands-on STEAM lessons in hydroponics, aquaponics, mushroom cultivation, and urban farming to K-12 students and adult learners across all five boroughs.

This role fits you if:

• Teaching energizes you and community drives you

• You carry genuine passion for food justice and urban agriculture

• You thrive in dynamic, hands-on environments

• You speak English and Spanish or Mandarin (strongly preferred)

What MOM offers:

• $22-$30/hr. as a W2 employee after a paid training period at $20/hr.

• Travel time between sites counts as paid hours

• A front-row seat to the urban agriculture movement in NYC

• The chance to shape how the next generation thinks about food, health, and community

Part-time, per-diem | Up to 35 hrs./week | All five NYC boroughs | Hiring September 2026
