All applicants must be able, willing and qualified to perform the work described in the job order and must be available for the entire period of employment specified in Section A.3 & A.4. This work order is for qualified people to perform the duties of apple orchard and vegetable farm. Summer pruning, thinning, general orchard work and harvesting produce in an apple orchard, as well as field work, weeding, thinning, hoeing and other duties related to the planting, maintaining and harvesting diversified ground crops and weeding in multiple meadows, including pollinator meadow. Workers must have the knowledge and ability to prune, thin and train apple trees, cut out diseased shoots and limbs, install and maintain mouse guards around trunks, install and maintain graft protection, read variety maps to determine tree and plant location, be willing to work in varied weather conditions – as low as 30 degrees and during harvest as high as 90 degrees with damp mornings. Workers must be able to handle and climb a 20 foot ladder repetitively while carrying an apple picking bucket which is harnessed over the workers shoulders. Workers may wash and prepare produce for storage or retail sales. Workers will press apples into cider. Workers may be asked to operate trucks or other multi-purpose vehicles on public roads, between orchard blocks to remove apple bins from outlying orchards during harvest time. Workers will be asked to drive tractor, pick up and (or) chip brush from orchard floor, collect all materials for compost, repair broken bins, plant, water and cable trees, pick rocks to prepare soil for planting, temporary and permanent fence repair and other farm related tasks as the need arises. Workers must be able to identify certain apple pests, perform daily counts of the pest traps and record findings. Workers may be asked to operate trucks or other multi-purpose vehicles to transport workers from housing (whether on or off farm) to the farm properties; haul tools, supplies, or crops; transport workers from place to place around the farm properties during the workday (including on public roads to reach farmer's fields); and/or transport workers to the grocery store, bank, or laundry facilities on an as needed basis. Workers that are requested to drive will be required to possess a valid driver’s license; no worker will be rejected for not having a driver's license. Workers who do drive will still perform the same field work and other duties as non-driving workers; driving is not a primary duty. When harvesting apples, productivity must be at least 60 1-1/8 bushel boxes per 7 hours worked with no more than 5% bruising for fresh market. The employer will provide 1 day of training and allow 2 days of work for the worker to reach production standards. The work assigned will be physically demanding, long periods of standing, walking, bending, kneeling, stooping, as well as climbing ladders for long periods of time will be required. Workers must be able to lift and carry up to 50 pounds on a frequent basis. The employer will furnish workers without cost all tools and equipment required to perform duties assigned. Workers must be able to operate a chainsaw, brush (clearing) saw and string trimmer.

This totals 65 hours per week. The 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM range accounts for orchard conditions (e.g., weather or crop readiness) to ensure workers complete the required hours. Workers will not work a full 12-hour shift. Workers will be given at least a 30-minute lunch break which is staggered between 11am - 1pm as decided by the workers and management.
