Office Assistant

I’m looking for somebody to help me with many aspects of running the business side of our vegetable farm. This is a great job working for a family business where you can feel great about what we produce. You can work flexible hours and take home our organic veggies to feed your family!

Flexible hours – You must have some afternoon availability, but there is some flexibility in hours. Your hours will fluctuate during the course of the year. You will work more hours during the 8 months of our busy farm season (April – November). The other 4 months of the year (December – March) will require less work. These are the approximate hours you will work:

December – March: 10 – 20 hours per week

April – November: 20 – 30 hours per week
