Position Overview

We are seeking a reliable and motivated General Farm Hand to join our team on a full-time basis.

This is a hands-on and varied role within our busy strawberry farm, which is open to the public for

pick-your-own and also operates a farm gate and retail outlet. The position is central to ensuring the

smooth running of daily farm operations, from field work and logistics to retail presentation and

customer service.

This role is seasonal in nature:

  • Summer work is essential, as this is our busiest period and requires full commitment.

  • In winter, operations slow down and time off is generally only available during this period. Winter

tasks are focused on maintenance and outdoor tractor work, so experience with machinery is highly

valued.

are essential.

  • Seasonal tasks: Summer – peak workload with harvest, retail, and wholesale operations.

Winter – maintenance, tractor work, and farm preparation for the upcoming season.

  • Compliance & safety – follow safe work practices and maintain a tidy, hazard-free work

environment.
