About the Role

We're hiring two summer students to assist with orchard care and general property maintenance between May and August. This is a hands-on, outdoor role with a variety of physical tasks. Ideal for students who enjoy working outside and take pride in a job well done.

Experience in horticulture, landscaping, or equipment operation is an asset, but we're willing to train the right people.

  • Mow, weed, and maintain grassed areas, laneways, and fence lines
  • Support irrigation setup, minor equipment upkeep, and general property repairs
  • Help with other seasonal projects as needed
  • Follow safety protocols and keep a tidy work environment

What We're Looking For

  • Physically fit and able to perform repetitive manual labour, including lifting 40–50 lbs and working on uneven terrain
  • Comfortable working outdoors in all types of weather
  • Reliable, self-motivated, and able to work independently or as part of a small team
  • Reliable personal transportation required — the farm is not accessible by transit
  • Previous experience in farm work, landscaping, horticulture, or equipment operation is an asset but not required
  • English required
