We are a small family farm seeking help to feed and water our large number of animals on weekday morning and afternoon shifts. Morning shifts start at 730am and go until 1130 pm and afternoon shifts go from 2 pm until 500 pm.
Many shifts are available currently. You must work one weekend day per week.
Currently looking for full time work 4 days per week plus one weekend.
Part time : I need someone Thursday through Sunday.
While farming experience is preferred, we are happy to train you on the job. No two days are alike because our animals make it fun and challenging. The ideal candidate must have a good understanding and ease with animals. He/she must be able to lift 50 lb feed bags and can easily walk 10,000 steps a day. The person should love working outside in all kinds of weather (freezing temps, snow, ice or heat like 90F days or above) because animals need to be fed no matter what. The person should also have a reliable method of transportation as you will need to go between two properties (ΒΌ mile apart).
Cleaning barn and cages is a must and we have a rotating schedule for cleaning so nobody gets burnt out on cleaning. We have a goat barn to clean, a rabbit barn with stacked cages with trays and suspended cages requiring cleaning under the cages, and a quail shed with stacked cages and trays to clean weekly.
We also butcher our own chickens or ducks. Applicants should be available for butchering.
We are also looking for someone interested in milking goats ( machine milk) twice a day.
We are looking for honest working people who love animals and understand the working of a farm to table operation. We prefer a long-term commitment of 6 months to a year or beyond, with sign on bonus at the end of 6 months. We will do criminal background checks and ask for 3 references.
Position start date is now. This is a part time position, with possible full time if everything works out.
Full time position is available if you have vast experience with farm work, are willing to clean and butcher.
We do not provide housing but are open to having you park a trailer/RV living on site. Renter fee will be charged in this case. We do not have septic for trailer or RV dump.
You must live within 30 miles from Labadie to apply.
To apply for this job, please email: rosalie@grandarmyfarm.com
We request that you write a paragraph explaining your previous experience with animals and why do you think you are suited for this job.
Please list 3 references and a working phone number for each.
