Working closely with the operations manager & harvest manager in creating weekly CSA distribution & wholesale lists

Successful candidates should be comfortable working outside in all weather conditions, physically able to lift at least 50 pounds and willing to walk, kneel and stand for a full work day in the heat, cold, rain and/or snow.
