Job Description

Multiple positions available

Full-time (35-45 hrs/week), May-October 

$20/hr+ DOE​

The Flower Field Crew will play a key role in growing the cut flower operation. Harvesting flowers for farmer’s markets and wholesale will be the most regular task throughout the season. Harvest speed and efficiency will be essential for success. The Flower Field Crew will also work on a variety of other physical tasks, such as maintaining flower fields (weeding, planting, etc.), making market bouquets and wreaths, washing and sanitizing harvest buckets. On occasion, the Flower Field Crew may be asked to assist the Vegetable Field Crew and/or work a shift at our farmer’s markets. The ideal candidate will have experience in both flower farming and floral design, though this is primarily a farming position. An individual who is passionate about growing flowers organically, can work fast while maintaining high quality standards, and has an eye for visual appeal will thrive in this position.

Experience & Qualifications: 

  • One full season production flower farming experience very strongly preferred but other production farming or physical fast-paced work environment experience and desire to farm may be considered
  • Flexibility to work variable hours and occasional long days to get through large task lists during the height of the growing season
  • Ability to hustle and thrive under pressure
  • Ability to follow written and oral instructions, ask for help when needed, and accept constructive feedback
  • Ability to repeatedly lift 50 lbs, bend, kneel, and be standing for long hours
  • Ability to work outside in occasionally inclement weather
  • Previous floral design experience a plus
