We're hiring for Spring Greenhouse Crew!

We’ve made it 'round the seasons once again! Through the early spring days of warm seedling greenhouses, to the lush jungle environment of the tomato houses in the heat of the summer. The cold is sinking in and the greenhouses have been put to rest for the winter.

We want to say a big thank you to everyone for your support last year! 2023 made its mark for growers all over this region with endless rain and flood waters that wreaked havoc on the livelihoods of many. We’ve managed to clean up from the high waters; mucked out the basement of the barn, cleaned implements & replaced gear oil, pushed piles of driftwood and removed silt laden landscape fabric and damaged plastic from the flooded greenhouse. Unfortunately we sustained losses of our burdock crop, but are very thankful to have had a successful seedling and tomato season.

The greenhouse in the lower field that suffered flood damage is in its skeleton form until we replace the plastic this winter. When we ’re-skin’ (a fancy term for replacing the plastic) a greenhouse, it is ideal to expose the soil to the elements and allow some rain, snow and direct sun to soak into the soil before covering. So on a windless, warm day in February we will tackle monkeying around the bows and purlins to cover this greenhouse for next season's tomatoes.

We are seeking hard working employees for our robust spring seedling season, April through mid June. If you know anyone who may be a good fit for our spring greenhouse crew please refer them to our Employment Page and have them reach out to us. Thanks for helping to spread the word!

We look forward to seeing you in the spring!

Warmly,

Flint & the Cate Farm Crew
