About our Farm: We are a 48-acre certified organic farm, raising 7 acres of certified organic produce, 2 acres of cut flowers, 1 greenhouse and 4 high tunnels. That Guy’s Family Farm is the produce operation and That Girl’s Flowers grows and sells cut flowers. We are separate farming operations but share the same land and resources. We work closely together and have similar farming methods but grow and sell different products.
Job Overview: We are seeking to hire an apprentice that will work for both of us. The work week will be divided between the two farming operations. Two days per week will be with That Girl’s Flowers and three days per week will be with That Guy’s Family Farm. We feel this is a unique opportunity to learn about the two different operations. We want to offer training that covers all aspects of our farming businesses. As owners, we are very involved with daily farm tasks and work side by side with employees. This offers many chances to share experiences and be involved in thought processes. You will be asked to maintain consistency, efficiency, and quality in all work that is performed.
Job Description for That Guy’s Family Farm: An apprentice is expected to help in all aspects of raising, harvesting, and selling produce. You will be in the field learning and practicing methods of planting, cultivating, weeding, and harvesting vegetables. In addition, a large amount of time will be spent in the packing shed preparing produce to sell. You will be asked to occasionally sell at the one farmers' markets we attend and stock our farm store. Every day on the farm is different. We try to have fun along the way.
Job Description for That Girl’s Flowers: As an apprentice at That Girl’s Flowers you will be exposed to different flowers and tasks throughout the growing season. Working on a flower farm means getting dirty and sweaty, but the work is rewarding. Mixed bouquets are the primary product we sell and a superior bouquet requires many steps along the way. You’ll learn the techniques of harvesting flowers at the appropriate time and arranging bouquets with care. Planting, hand weeding, hoeing, cultivating, and field maintenance are ongoing projects that require a large time commitment. You will be asked to perform some deliveries.
Ideal Candidate:

Perks of the job: Free flowers when available and produce “seconds” from That Guy’s Family Farm
Compensation: $11-12 per hour starting wage with a raise throughout the apprenticeship. Working hours are M-F 8am-5pm with an unpaid 1 hour lunch break. Work may end earlier than 5pm depending on if tasks are completed early, or weather conditions prevent work from being done. 35-40 hours per week on average. Working at the Saturday morning farmer’s market will be required occasionally.
Starting and ending dates: This position is from April thru October
