What are the responsibilities and job description for the Farm Worker position at Bear Creek Farm?
We are an award-winning sustainable flower farm going into our six production year growing magnificent flowers in the beautiful historic Hudson Valley, New York. We grow gorgeous dahlias - over 100 varieties- peonies, and other rare plants. Additionally, we are in the process of creating acres of sustainable native habitats for native plants and fauna.
This is not a typical job environment. At Bear Creek Farm, everyone's job is diverse and ever-changing because we are growing, but we work together as a strong team to learn, reach big goals and nurture beauty through flowers. We are seeking someone who is positive, motivated, energetic, and ready to roll up their sleeves and get to work. We take great pride in the quality of our product and every task requires precision and attention to detail.
If you are passionate about bringing beauty and inspiration into the homes and celebrations of families, this job is for you. You will participate in a wide range of farm tasks in a fast-paced environment. You will help support the preparation, propagation, production, and maintenance of the fields and greenhouse of flower crops as well as established gardens. This is physically demanding work that is largely outdoors in all types of weather. Schedule is five days/week except for short peony and dahlia seasons, which can be six days/week. www.bearcreekfarm.com
