SMALL FARM IN SEBASTOPOL HIRING BERRY HARVESTERS AND FIELD TECHS

Sebastopol CA

Description

Small berry farm just outside Sebastopol with a great working environment is hiring harvesters/field techs for the 2020 harvesting season which will run from now through early October. We harvest in the morning for 4-5 hours, two days per week on Monday and Thursday and you must be available BOTH days. No experience required. We will provide on the job training. We also need help with pruning and cultural practices to keep the berries maintained and healthy. This work is optional for those who are interested and is intermittent when we can get to it during harvest season. Berry harvesting is light work. Most of the fruit is picked between the shoulder and the knee, and picking buckets only weigh up to about five pounds when they need to be emptied into harvest flats. Harvesters must be comfortable working outdoors, be reliable, hard working and have reliable transportation to and from the farm. If interested, please send an email with a brief description about yourself & why you're interested, and a phone number where you can be reached. Work Days & Times: Four-to-five hour shifts on Monday and Thursday mornings. Start times are weather dependent. On extremely hot days we may start as early as 6am and finish by 10 or 11am. On extremely foggy mornings we may start as late as 8am to let the fruit dry out and finish by 12 or 1pm. Compensation: $13/hr. cash (via PayPal or Venmo). Thank you for your interest!
