What to expect with us.
“Personally organic” describes well how we work: as equals, as a team and in a culture where people help each other. Because great things are only achieved together. Become part of the Rathgeb Group – we look forward to meeting you.
Many areas
Cultivation and harvest, greenhouse, packing, logistics and lorry driving, workshop, sales and administration.
Work all year round
Thanks to our greenhouses, there is work for you in winter too – and many positions that need no formal training.
Seasonal work and housing
Would you like to help out for a season, or several? In our staff house in Unterstammheim, around 50 seasonal employees live very close to their workplace – built to the Minergie standard, from local timber.
Short paths
As a family business, we live flat hierarchies, open communication and short decision paths.
Moving forward
Further development is part of our culture. If you want to continue your education, you will find support with us.

A variety of jobs at Rathgeb.
At Rathgeb, many people think of the field first. But before our vegetables reach the customer fresh, it takes many more hands: in grading and packing, in the workshop, in sales and in the office. Where do you fit in?

Do your apprenticeship the properly organic way.
Vegetable grower EFZ – 3 years
You grow a wide variety of vegetables outdoors and in the greenhouse. You look after the soil, sow, raise young plants and take care of crop protection and weed control – through to harvest and sale. You also learn to set up and maintain machinery. You can also do the basic training with a focus on organic farming.
What you bring: You enjoy being outdoors, even in wind and weather. You observe closely, are interested in technology and like to get stuck in – with us, even during the apprenticeship, 5.5 days a week. Experience in agriculture or with machinery is a plus.
