Want to spend the summer outside helping on a farm?
Description
Green Valley Acres is a family-run farm nestled in a valley 15 minutes outside of Medicine Hat. Our 80-acre farm includes an orchard of Saskatoon berries and raspberries, free range chickens, peacocks, turkeys, and an assortment of other fun farming activities.
We’re looking for some help for the summer starting as soon as possible, although we're flexible on start/end dates and other details.
Come get hands-on experience on our farm! Projects may include but aren’t limited to:
• Learning how to care for a variety of free-range chickens, peacocks, and turkeys
• Hands on experience with hatching chicks every week
• Coordinating customers during u-pick berry appointments
• Planting and harvesting crops
• Building a small chicken coop
• Marketing our farm products
• Demonstrating initiative to identify improvements to business operations
We’re offering $16/hour for a great experience to learn how to operate a small farm business. There will be hard work involved and lots of useful life skills learned.
The ideal candidate:
• Needs to have your own transportation to get to our farm every day
• Having relevant work experience is a bonus but not a requirement, as long as you’re open to learning new things!
• Needs to be self-motivated, be open-minded, and not be afraid of hard work
This position is partially funded by the Canada Summer Jobs program and one of the funding requirements is that applicants must be between 15 and 30 years of age.
If you’re interested in taking advantage of this unique opportunity, please email us at info@greenvalleyacres.ca. Résumés are great but aren’t necessary! You can just tell us a little about yourself and why you think you’d be a good fit for our farm.
We’ll be starting the hiring process ASAP so if you’re thinking about applying, let us know right away!
