Special Requirements:

Three Rivers Community Farm engages in a unique form of direct-to-consumer produce distribution (250 member Community Supported Agriculture, CSA, Program), as well as weekly farmers markets from April-November, and an on-site farm stand, which requires of employees a knowledge and judgement level significantly above industry standards. This knowledge and judgement can only come from experience in the field and pack house. For example, employees will be required to pick muskmelons within a narrow range of ripeness standards (unlike conventional melons, which are picked and shipped green). They will be required to pack highly perishable varieties of numerous different salad crops•not in the conventional 24 count leaf lettuce box•but in boxes of mixed produce where they can easily be crushed or otherwise damaged. They will spend large amounts of time grading heirloom tomatoes for ripeness, cosmetic and structural defects and suitability for delivery to very high end customers.
