About Weavers Way Farms!
Weavers Way has two farm sites in Northwest Philadelphia, located a few miles apart. The farm sites include a 2-acre farm at the Awbury Arboretum (the Mort Brooks Memorial Farm), a 3-acre farm at Saul High School (the Henry Got Crops farm), and a 1.5-acre fruit, nut, and berry orchard adjacent to the Henry Got Crops farm at Saul. Both farms offer experience with small-scale, diversified, no-till organic farming and the opportunity to develop skills in greenhouse production, season extension, pest management, planting, weeding, harvesting, farm market experience, and volunteer management. We coordinate harvests from the two farms to meet demand at our existing outlets. Each farm position focuses most of its time at one of the two sites, yet we all work in coordination as one team. We sell produce from the two farms at the four Co-op stores, our Henry Got Crops CSA and farm market, and occasionally other local businesses in the Philadelphia area.
We are looking for a You-Pick/Floral Assistant Farmer to work at The Henry Got Crops farm on the Saul High School campus. This is a full-time seasonal position from March 10th - December 15th, with an expected schedule of Monday- Friday, 8 AM- 4 PM or 7 AM- 3 PM, averaging 35+ hours per week. Hours vary seasonally, and occasional weekend work may be required with advance notice. This assistant farmer position supports the You-pick Manager/Floral Coordinator in our flower and you-pick field at our Henry Got Crops site in Roxborough. The assistant will help with planting and maintaining the ¾ acre you-pick field as well as our ¼ acre cut flower field. The you-pick/floral assistant will spend time harvesting, storing, and drying flowers and arranging bouquets for our 4 co-operative grocery stores and our Farm Market.
This position is ideal for someone with at least 1 full season of production farming experience, who is looking to gain experience on a community-centric, urban, production farm.
This is an hourly paid position, starting at $18/hr, eligible for Weaver Way Co-op benefits. All hours worked over 40 hours/week are straight pay, not subject to overtime rate, unless the assistant engages in “non-agricultural labor” such as working at the farm market.
This position is eligible for Weaver Way Co-op benefits, which are as follows:
