General overview:
This is a key management position on the farm. Once properly trained the person in this position will be responsible for management and implementation of all post-harvest produce washing and handling, packaging, organizing, and cooling activities. We expect this role to be filled by someone that has a critical eye toward quality and consistency of produce, has good organizational skills, and is a great communicator. The days are long and demanding and require a person with good mental and physical stamina. A person that excels in this role is a good team player, has a positive attitude and good work ethic, strong spatial relations, is efficiently minded, and is physically fit. There is repetitive lifting and a lot of inside time required for this position, but there are also plenty of opportunities to work in the field with the rest of the crew as needed, especially in the early part of the season: March - Mid May.
