Nursery, flower farm and animal care

Description

Do you love plants and animals? Would you rather be outside in the fresh air surrounded by beautiful flowers than sitting in an office on a zoom call? Would you rather be working with your hands than typing with them all day? Do you prefer animals over people? Haha, joking, but I have my days. We are a small specially nursery and soon-to-be cut flower farm looking for a hard-working and trustworthy individual to help care for our animals (chickens, geese, sheep, miniature donkeys, and horses) and assist with the nursery and flower farm. Several of our animals are rescues and all are pets. We use organic practices and strive to be worthy stewards of our beautiful 5 acres. We value natural health and grow many immune supporting medicinal and culinary herbs, along with several unique fruits, vegetables, berries, and perennials. This position will not start until next year, but we are beginning to look now because we are particular about who we hire. This position will likely start as part-time in late winter or early spring and may evolve into a full-time position during peak season.
