Kettle Rock Farm
Summer Season Farm Worker
Kettle Rock Farm is a 3 acre vegetable farm located just north of Palmyra and a few miles from
Kettle Moraine State Park. We grow over 40 different types of veggies and herbs, which we sell
to farmers markets, food coops, and restaurants around Whitewater and in the Milwaukee area.
We have been working towards our organic certification for the past few years and plan to be
certified this August. We are currently hiring for a summer farm worker who would assist with
planting, weeding, harvesting, washing, and selling produce.
What to Expect
Farm work is a great opportunity to spend the summer outdoors, get some dirt under your
fingernails, and experience firsthand what it takes to grow local and sustainable food! We offer
a lively and friendly work crew, and surplus produce is available for employees to take home! In
exchange, we expect hard workers who are focused and observant. Farms work is performed in
all weather conditions and is often physical, repetitive, and/or strenuous. We have very high
quality standards, but in addition to careful work a farm depends on fast work – time is money!
Working on a small crew requires constant coordination and communication, so employees must
play well with others. No experience is necessary, but a good attitude and a strong work ethic
are a must!
Dates and Compensation
This position begins in early June and ends in late August, exact start and end dates are
negotiable. Work days are Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday – the exact hours will
vary somewhat depending on the day, but in general it will be 9-10 hours a day not including an
hour lunch break (or 36-40 hours/week total). The starting wage is $8.50 an hour, with the
possibility for bonuses or raises for good performance.
How to Apply
To apply, send your resume to [email protected] – please include your name, phone
number, and at least two work references, and describe briefly why you are interested in working
here and what makes you a good fit for this job. We look forward to hearing from you!
