Want to work with us? Awesome!
Here’s who we are looking for below:
Farmstand Team Member/Retail Sales Clerk
We’re looking for someone to work full time in our farmstand. If you have a working knowledge of plants and flowers, great customer service skills, and are looking for an opportunity that includes working both indoors and outdoors, this might be a great position for you.
Here’s a little about the job:
Our farmstand team member is responsible for opening, operating and closing our retail shop. You’ll be responsible for receiving plant and flower shipments, pricing them, and displaying them/merchandising the displays. You’ll be ringing customers through for purchases, wrapping flowers, and helping customers make their choices on indoor and outdoor plants as well as vegetable seedlings in the summer. If you are not well versed in plants and flowers and gardening that’s ok, as long as you are a quick study and self motivated to learn about our offerings.
Skills we’re looking for:
We’re looking for someone with hospitality skills. We want our customers to feel welcome and well served, and in the summer we have lots of folks travelling from the city to enjoy a day out in the country, with our shop and farm being one of their stops. Strong cash skills are required, as are iPad/tech skills/tech troubleshooting skills. You’ll be required to lift up to 50lb comfortably (our winter planters are heavy, and you’ll need to be able to move them around).
We’re looking for someone who can work Tuesday-Saturday 8:30-5. We work year round, with the exception of an unpaid shutdown from December 25th-January 7/8th-ish, where we take a winter break. Because our business relies heavily on seasonal floral holidays, availability on Valentine’s Day, Easter, Mother’s Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas is a must. We’re able to be flexible the rest of the year for time off/holidays, but floral holidays are all hands on deck and extra hours/occasional weekend shifts will be needed at those times.
A few things to note:
You’ll be working in all weather conditions. There is an outdoor element to our work (since we are a farm) and you’ll be going inside/outside each day to get plants out of the greenhouses in the spring and summer, and to work with our outdoor winter planters, wreaths, fresh Christmas trees, etc. in the winter. This is a job where you’ll be on your feet most of the day. In the spring/summer you’ll be helping to water outdoor plants, and some light weeding will be required.
Compensation: $19/h
