Farm Production Staff

Join Our Fall Season Crew!


We're looking for hands-on, reliable team members to join our production crew. You'll be working with your hands and on your feet all day, running our kettle corn and fry equipment and bottling cider — some of our most popular products in the store.


What You'll Be Doing

  • Kettle Corn: Run our automatic kettle corn machine — load ingredients, monitor batches, and bag finished kettle corn for sale in the store
  • Frozen French Fries: Wash potatoes, run them through our fry cutter, flash fry, and prep/package for the freezer
  • Cider Bottling: Fill, cap/seal, and label cider bottles; run and clean bottling equipment; monitor for quality and consistency
  • Keep prep and cooking areas clean and organized throughout shifts
  • Follow food safety practices (proper storage temps, handwashing, sanitizing equipment)
  • Restock ingredients and supplies as needed
  • Help with general farm duties during slower periods


What We're Looking For

  • Comfortable working around hot equipment (kettles, fryers) and moving/lifting supplies (up to [40–50] lbs)
  • Able to stand for extended periods and work at a steady pace during busy hours
  • Reliable, punctual, and able to work as part of a small team
  • Comfortable with repetitive tasks and attention to detail (consistency matters for both taste and safety)
  • Prior kitchen, food service, or production experience helpful but not required — we'll train the right person
  • Schedule Expectations: This position starts at approximately 20 hours per week. As the season becomes busier hours may increase to 40+ hours per week
  • Applicants must have the flexibility to work some weekends and additional hours as business needs require
  • Must be 18+ years of age


Why Work With Us?

This is more than a seasonal job — it's a fall tradition. You'll work alongside a tight-knit crew, build real food service skills, and be part of a place that families look forward to every year.


  • Wages per hour: 18+ - $18


Apply today — shifts are filling fast and we'd love to meet you.
