Previous harvest and forklift experience, while helpful, is not required. What is required is a general drive to work hard during long days, especially during the peak of harvest, an ability to lift and carry up to 50 lbs., an eagerness to learn, ask questions, and the ability to work safely and with common sense.

The position would begin early to mid-August and run through early to mid-November, depending on the season. Weekend work is required, as is flexibility based upon harvest conditions.
