Company description

North Star Orchard is a 20-acre farm in southeastern PA, 1 hour west of Philadelphia. Our focus is on unique and heritage varieties of fruit (over 300 varieties of apples!) and a wide selection of vegetables. We operate a large fruit CSA (700 members), which has been in operation for 16 years, and we sell everything else retail at producer-only farmers' markets and in our beautiful on-site seasonal farm store. We grow non-certified organically-grown vegetables on 5 acres and IPM tree fruit on about 12 acres. We also have an extensive, multi-year apple breeding program and have been developing new varieties of certain vegetables as well. For more information, visit www.northstarorchard.com

Positions start in spring and continue until Thanksgiving, with opportunity for continuing long term employment for the right person/people (although winter work may be very limited or nonexistent)
