Specific positions include:

     Field Cut Flower Picker - We need someone who is willing to head out most mornings into our 1/3 acre cut flower patch and pick bouquets to sell at the farmstand.  We will train a qualified applicant.  Pay is by the flower bunch, so the faster you can pick, the more you make.  Hours are very flexible, although we prefer flowers to be picked in the morning as that is when they are freshest.  The busiest days are Thursday through Sunday.   Other tasks (paid hourly) can include flower garden upkeep and maintenance, planting seeds, organizing and stocking the cut flower customer area (keeping clippers available, making copies of cut flower information sheets, keeping the place looking good).  The job usually begins around late June and can extend throughout the summer months into September.  If you love picking flowers and want to be paid to be outside, please call us or fill out an application and send it to us.  We look forward to hearing from you.
