Our Idea of an Ideal Candidate:
While we’re flexible and open minded towards applicants, our current vision for an ideal candidate is someone who either farms part time or has several years of market garden style farming experience. They are someone who is sales driven and physically capable. It would be incredible to find someone who can show up to a farm on a delivery, identify ways to help that farm improve or extend their current approach, thereby generating sales while also helping the customer. Applicants with trades experience are welcome because assistance with structure installations would be appreciated.
