Cheese Cutting/Holiday Support
Cherry Grove Farm is looking for seasonal help this holiday season! This position is part time and extremely flexible on schedule and hours. We are looking for people who are organized, have the ability to work independently and are adaptable. Responsibilities include cheese cutting and packaging, assistance in fulfilling any holiday gift basket orders, farmers markets/holiday markets/demos (IF you have the desire), and knowledge of our products. This is a great opportunity to work first-hand within our local food system with our quality farmstead products - cheese, pasture raised meats, and honey.
If you have experience with cheese, butchering or culinary sales positions that's a plus but not necessary. We will train, and training involves lots of eating cheese! We have a lot of fun during tasting sessions and it’s a great opportunity to strengthen your palate.
Outdoor market shifts include commission where you get 10% above $500 as a bonus to your wage. Unless you have foul weather, this is very achievable and can add an extra 25-100$ to your wage.
