regarding wholesale packing schedules.
- Customer & wholesale support: Take and process wholesale customer orders. Prepare

invoices and manage basic administrative paperwork. Assist in farm gate and retail operations

as required.
- 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.
