Sheepscot General Farm

– Three years farm experience is preferred

– Willingness to work both alone and with others while maintaining efficiency and focus

– Ability to work at a sustained quick pace throughout the day

– Comfortable communicating with a farm manager and a part-time harvest assistant. We are a small team and a lot of the time, we are working solo on separate tasks. We check in with each other many times throughout the day.

-Whether working solo or together, being comfortable reaching out to ask clarifying questions, asking for help when needed, checking in when something is taking longer than expected, and communicating when a task is not completed are all helpful in making the farm day run smoothly and efficiently.

-Comfortable communicating with store managers and staff about changes in the produce case in the store

-pays close attention to detail

-punctual and reliable

-ability to receive detailed verbal information about a task and then carry out the task to completion

-ability to receive a task list (verbal or written) and move through the list on your own (knowing you can always check in with any questions)

-enthusiasm and pride in what we do

-clear communication outside of the actual work is also important: time off requests with a good amount of notice, letting the farm know when you are running late, etc.

-willingness to work in various weather conditions

-ability to work physically each day. We occasionally need to lift 50lbs (though we try to use farm equipment to do most of our heavy lifting to maintain physical sustainability through the season)
