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
