Free Spirit Farm Job Description
Free Spirit Farm is a 10 acre organic farm with mixed fruit, berry and vegetable production in Winters California. We will be going into our 15th season and are looking to hire 2-3 people for the summer season starting around the beginning of June and with a flexible ending date sometime between end of August- end of October. This would be a great place to learn about growing perennial crops as we have a really diverse orchard of peaches, plums, plots, apricots, figs, pomegranates, persimmons, apples, pears, cherries and almost 2 acres of blackberries. Because it's a small farm, a lot of the work will be harvesting, but there should still be plenty of opportunity to learn about all our systems/mechanization/general farm management/orchard care etc.
Duties : Harvesting, working farmers markets, packing/sorting, fruit thinning, pruning, and weeding.
Hours: 30-40 Hrs a week, days start around 6am-1pm depending on the time of year. Work will be available from beginning of June until the end of October (we can be flexible)
Expectations: Motivated and hard worker, positive attitude, will be working with about 3-4 other people most days in a fun outdoor environment. Should be able to lift 50 pounds
Pay: $18/HR (plus fruit/veggies)
