We are seeking two energetic, hard
working, reliable, physically fit and motivated individuals to work
with us this season providing our CSA members and other clients with
farm fresh organic vegetables. If you like working outside in all
kinds of weather (yes, we work in the heat, rain, cold and wind),
enjoy working with your hands, have a good sense of humor and don't
mind getting dirty then you might just be who we are looking for.
You will often be lifting and moving
bins of produce that could weigh up to fifty pounds so you will need
to be physically fit. We work in a fast paced atmosphere as crops
need to be harvested quickly to maintain a high level of quality. We
grow over forty different types of crops so the work is always
changing so I promise you'll never be bored. We need someone who can
trouble shoot and think on their feet and who also has a keen
attention to detail.
No experience is necessary but a
background or experience growing food would be an asset. Some of the
duties you can expect will be transplanting, seeding in the
greenhouse, weeding, harvesting, washing, weighing and preparing
produce for our clients.
Position #1 – 25-30 hours /week.
Monday-Thursday. $12.00/hour
Position #2 – 14 hours/week. Monday&
Wednesday. $12.00/hour
**There can be some flexibility in the
hours between the two employees if need be**
These positions would start the end of
June and finish the end of October. We also require extra help in
the spring and later in the fall so an interested individual could
start as early as the first of May but hours would be more flexible
due to the nature of the work (ie transplanting).
We are located in Wilmot Valley which
is ten minutes east of Summerside and forty minutes west of
Charlottetown. On top of the hourly wage we also provide free
produce to our employees to take home and enjoy.
