This is a great opportunity to learn about sustainable farming, support local agriculture, and help a 5th generation family farm expand.

Training is $17/hour. Once trained and the candidate can work independently, the pay rate will be $18/hour. This typically takes 6-10 shifts depending on previous experience.
