Job responsibilities include:

• efficiently and quickly harvesting berries in peak season for our wholesale accounts 
• orchard work: harvesting, weeding, mulching pruning, mowing
• restocking the farmstand and helping customers on busy weekends

Farm Crew hours are typically 8 am-1 pm, 4 days a week, and some weekends.
