We are hiring Seasonal Farm Hands to help us with our fifth Fall season at the Tree House Orchard & Farm Fermentory. Our seasonal Farm Hands will receive an immersive experience in the running of a small, community-focused Farm & Orchard, working closely with our Farm Manager and the rest of the team.
Cultivate and nourish the property to be able to provide produce and ingredients for our products as well as assist in our Orchard to bear appreciable and beautiful terroir-filled fruit for our wild and mixed fermentation beer and cider program.
Tasks include all aspects of produce farming greenhouse seeding, seedling care, transplanting, irrigation, weeding, pruning, pest management, harvesting, washing, processing, and anything and everything that contributes to a positive, fruitful outcome for the Farm and Orchard.
The position pays 15/hr for an average of 40 hours per week, seasonally through December/January.
About you:
We are seeking Seasonal Farm Hands who are self-directed, curious, and passionate about learning how to farm. The ideal candidate is a scrappy, hard worker who embraces the rewarding, albeit physically challenging, work that comes with farming and who works well both on a team and on their own and those who. Strength (can lift 50 pounds), stamina (both physical and mental), speed, and efficiency are all traits that make a successful team member. But we also value intent, hard work, a sense of humor, and good communication skills. Preference is given to people who have prior experience in farming, gardening, or landscaping. This is an exciting opportunity for Ag students, budding arborists and those looking to get their hands dirty in the farming industry.
About the gig:
We see this as being an enriching opportunity for the right individual as farming is physically demanding, happens in all kinds of weather, during very early, long hours and can be tedious and repetitive yet exceptionally rewarding. Youll be working both indoors and out on an ongoing list of projects and tasks as assigned by our Farm Manager. This is a full-time schedule with flexible, long shifts that include early mornings. This is a 3-4-month seasonal role beginning in September and running through December/January.
At Tree House, we work as a team and we work very hard. . . with purpose and intent. We do not cut corners and we do not take the easy route. We encourage dissent, critical thinking, and an ongoing desire to improve. Our goal is to make the best beverages in the world and serve it in the most friendly and memorable environment possible – that is our obsession, and that is what drives us to do what we do.
Tree House Brewing is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace. We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity or Veteran status. We welcome all applicants who believe they meet the minimum requirements of available positions, with or without reasonable accommodation, to apply.
