Why It’s Great to be a Great Country Farmhand

Ice Bucket Challenge smiles

Farmhands always have Ever-Ready Smiles…even after completing the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge!

We hire Farmhands to assist our guests. This will be the best fun job you’ll ever have. We are in the business of making sure our guests have the best day ever, which simply means that people pay us for an unforgettable family experience.

As an employee, you interact directly with our guests looking for a family-friendly pick your own adventure. They’ve planned their visit, driven an hour or more, and they are planning to spend a day filled with fruit picking fun.  All they need is a little help.

This is where our Farmhand Team comes in!  It’s our job to make sure each guest receives a 5-Star Experience.  We want our guests to be so thrilled that they can’t resist writing a 5-Star review on Trip Advisor or Facebook.  This means we MUST work extra hard to make sure all their questions are answered,  assist them with finding what they need, go the extra mile to lend them a hand and provide them with a safe, clean environment. You know when you’ve had a 5 Star Experience.   It’s really simple, all we have to do is take care of our guests.

Are you ready to rise to the challenge?  

Why’s the Job so Great?

Every day and every job is different. Some days are slower and we can get to know our guests, taking a minute to laugh as we guide them to a great experience. Other days are action-packed and pass in a whirlwind of activity. We offer flexible schedules that fit Students, Retired Adventure Seekers, Second-Job Weekend Warriors and Parents looking to work weekdays while the kids are at school. We have indoor and outdoor responsibilities, kitchen and baking options, equipment operating roles, and more physical and less physical requirements.

Sound like something you’d like to try? Then complete our Application Form and get ready to share your ever ready smile & positive attitude at one of our upcoming Open Auditions for Seasonal Employees.
