This is a great position for someone interested in all aspects of flower farming! Duties will include harvesting many varieties of flower crops in all types of weather and efficiently processing flowers for sale. You will also take part in other vital jobs, including lots of weeding, lots of planting, washing buckets, and much more. Farming experience is preferred though not necessary, but you must have a love of flowers, farming, and a willingness to learn. You must love watching the sunrise and the fog lift. You must love carrying armloads of blooms back to the barn. And then, once you get over all that romance on the first day, you must be willing to show up every day after that and sweat, get a few bug bites, and laugh and joke with our small, fun crew. It’s hard work but fun and often supremely beautiful. There may be opportunities for some weekend work and additional harvesting peak season if you are interested. Serious inquiries only.
