Employment Opportunities
Since 1972 our farm has been growing by providing top quality products and service to our customers. Our staff is an integral part of our success.
Along with featuring our own and other locally grown fruits, vegetables, meats and related products in our market we strive to maintain the public’s connection to farming, a connection being lost with advancing urbanization. Education about food production and farming along with the farm experience is an important part of what we are. Having friendly, knowledgeable, outgoing staff is essential in providing this experience. As with any farm there is a multitude of jobs to be done, indoor and outdoor. Our staff works as a team. With training and experience there are few barriers to doing a wide variety of tasks in any given day, making for an interesting and fulfilling time. All positions involve some interaction with the public so it is essential to enjoy working with people, reaching out to our visitors to enhance their stay and ensure a positively memorable experience.
