Big Lake MN

Description

Farm Farm CSA is seeking 2 full time employees (32-40+ hours a week) for the 2022 season. We are a 2 acre non certified organic vegetable CSA and market farm growing a diverse list of crops. The season begins in early to mid April, depending on weather, and ends at the end of October. Our small farm produces 200+ CSA boxes per week and we work 2 farmers markets on Saturdays. Employees will be involved in all aspects of vegetable production, and we treat all employees who are eager to learn as apprentices: we will share our knowledge and experience and take the time to train and explain. In addition to work that takes place on the farm, we will need one person to do our CSA deliveries from mid June until the end of October, and one person to work with us at one of the Saturday farmers markets. Employees must be punctual, hard working, have good attention to detail, a good attitude, and be self motivated. Typical work days are from 8am to 4:30pm with a break for lunch. We sometimes work outside these times to beat the weather (starting earlier on really hot days, or working later to beat stormy weather) Employees must be physically fit, able to carry 50lbs, able to bend down or kneel down all day long in all sorts of weather: 100 degrees and humid, 30 degrees with blowing snow. Compensation starts at $15/ hour and if you commit to 5 days a week we can offer $16/ hour. Please send us your most recent work history with contact info. Employees have access to free extra produce when available and receive 50% off a CSA share if they choose. Our farm is located on the east side of highway 169 between Zimmerman and Princeton.
