What are the responsibilities and job description for the Seasonal Farm Hand position at Tree House Brewing Company?
We are hiring Seasonal Farm Hands at our Woodstock, CT 100-acre farm to help us with our 5th Spring/Summer season. We want you to help us cultivate and nourish our Farm to be able to provide unique, local produce for our CSA members and ingredients for our products. We use many heirloom and open pollinated varieties and our vegetables are grown with organic methods. This is an exciting opportunity for Ag students and those looking to get their hands dirty in the farming industry. Apprentices will work with all things related to maintaining the Farm at Tree House consisting of a wide variety of produce, flowers, livestock, herbs and more. Potential tasks predominantly feature all aspects of produce farming like greenhouse seeding, seedling care, transplanting, irrigation, weeding, pest management, harvesting, washing, processing, and anything and everything that contributes to a positive, fruitful outcome for the Farm.
Our Seasonal Farm Hands will receive an immersive experience in the running of a small, community-focused Farm, working closely as a team with our Farm Manager and farm hands as well as our Orchard team as needed. We see this as being an enriching opportunity for the right individual as farming is physically demanding, happens in all kinds of weather, during very early, long hours and can be tedious and repetitive yet exceptionally rewarding. Strength (can lift 50 pounds), stamina (both physical and mental), speed, and efficiency are all traits that make a successful farmer. But we also value intent, hard work, a sense of humor, and good communication skills.
