Lewis Creek Farm Job Opening
Posted 11/19/2023

Field Worker, Retail and Delivery
Requirements       Duration       What We're Looking for       Compensation       How to Apply

This person will have the opportunity to do some of everything: Working in the field, helping at the Farmers' Market and our farmstand, washing and packing vegetables, and doing deliveries in our truck. It's an exciting opportunity for the right person. However because of the wide variety of jobs you'll be doing, it has a fairly long list of requirements.

Requirements:
  • You need to be in good health.
  • You must be able to lift 50 lbs.
  • You must have a valid Vermont driver's license
  • You must be able to endure extended periods of time standing, bending, stooping, and lifting.
  • You must have some weekend availability. Sometimes Saturday, sometimes Sunday. Not every week. We can be very flexible.
  • You must be available through Thanksgiving.
  • You must be comfortable working with the public at our Farmstand and at the Farmers' Market.

    Special consideration will be given to those who:
  • Have previous on-farm experience.
  • Have experience tractor driving.
  • Have experience driving a truck.
  • Have experience driving a vehicle with a standard transmission

    We're looking for someone who is smart, energetic, cheerful and punctual. You need to have a strong work ethic, a strong back, and a lot of energy.
  • We had a marathon runner, who stopped running marathons because she was getting so much exercise on the farm.
  • We had a competition bicycle racer who thought for sure he would ride his bike the 5 miles to work every day. He was too tired, and took his car instead.
    This is hard work.

    Duration: You must be available full time through Thanksgiving. Some flexibility.

    Schedule:
  • Deliveries are Tuesdays and Fridays. Those days are important.
  • Weekends are important times for retail. There we have some flexability.
    Beyond that we're talking about a total of anywhere from 30-45 hrs a week depending on your availability and our seasonal needs.

    Compensation: The wage is $17.00/ Hr.
