Company description

Maple Wind Farm is a pasture-based livestock farm operating in Richmond and Bolton, Vermont for more than 20 years. The farm produces pasture-raised non-GMO pork, turkeys, layer and broiler chickens, and 100% grass-fed beef. The core of our agricultural mission centers around daily moves of our livestock, providing animals with the freshest pasture possible, while regenerating soil & water resources. Our certified organic, USDA poultry slaughter and meat processing plant allows us to bring these high-quality, regenerative proteins directly to our discerning customers.

Job description

Come participate in Vermont’s local food system through the fulfillment and delivery of regeneratively-grown, pasture-raised meats. Help build a retail-focused distribution system to bring more food to our direct community. Join a team of hard-working individuals who support, teach, and learn from each other every day.

The Position

We’re seeking a detail-oriented, passionate individual to become our Fulfillment and Farmers Market Associate. This position works closely with the Sales & Fulfillment Manager in a number of fulfillment tasks, including (but not limited to):

• Packing orders for daily on-farm pickups.
• Accurately tracking and maintaining inventory.
• Planning and participating in farmer’s markets, primarily the Burlington Farmers Market.
• Managing our Home Delivery and Wholesale delivery programs (drive a box truck!)
• Coordinating Home Delivery and Wholesale weekly delivery.
• Daily maintenance of our on-farm, self-service store.

Benefits for the position include:

• Wages ranging from $16-19/hour, D.O.E.
• A 4-day workweek (10-hour days, 7am to 5pm)
• Access to free meats and eggs when available.
• Staff discount at our on-farm and online stores.
• Workers Compensation Insurance

Experience with retail sales, order fulfillment, and inventory management is preferred but not required - we are willing to train the right candidate! A relative tolerance for cold is required, as you will be spending time in both our walk-in cooler and deep freezer. Availability to work on Saturdays through the Burlington Farmers Market season (May-November) is also a requirement.

Why Should You Apply?

• A fantastic farm culture that is built on principles of integrity and respect.

• Our location is just 20 minutes away from Burlington, with easy access to outdoor pursuits such as hiking, fishing, mountain biking and hunting.

• We offer competitive wages and benefits, and hold a strong commitment to a 4-day work week.

• Directly contributing to the functioning of a local food system, while contributing to the success of a farm dedicated to regenerating soil and water resources.
