Salary:

$17/hour (90-day performance review with potential for raises and career growth)

Job Type:

Full-time (40 hours/week, some overtime)

Shift:

Monday-Friday 7:30 AM start, Saturday-Sunday 8:00 AM start; end times vary (may work past 3:30 PM during peak seasons) Join the Mushroom Revolution! Stoney Creek Mushrooms, Ferndale's James Beard Award-winning gourmet mushroom farm, is hiring passionate folks to join our tight-knit, farm-family crew. Michigan's mushroom industry is booming, and this is your chance to dive into mushroom cultivation with no experience needed. We grow top-quality Lion's Mane, Blue Oysters, and many others for chefs across Michigan and Ohio, and we need YOU to help us keep the fungi flowing!

What You'll Do:

No two days are the same in our fast-paced, hands-on farm:

• Bag substrate, sterilize it, and "spawn" mushrooms like a mycology wizard-in-training.
• Diagnose and battle sterilization issues to keep our grow rooms (aka the "nursery") thriving.
• Learn when each mushroom species is ready to fruit and harvest with precision for top chefs.
• Work closely with our sales and distribution team to ensure restaurant-ready quality.
• Get dirty with physical tasks (lifting up to 50 lbs, standing, bending, and being in a humid environment).

No experience? No problem! We train you from the ground up!

Who You Are:

• Ready for hard, rewarding work in sustainable agriculture (18+, able to lift heavy stuff).
• A team player who loves a dynamic, small-business vibe with a farm-family feel.
• Mushroom enthusiasts are our jam, but if you just want to learn, we're here for it!
• Excited to grow (pun intended) in a role with advancement potential, every leader here started as a cultivator! Why Stoney Creek?
• Start at $17/hour with a 90-day review to discuss performance, potential raises, and your career goals.
• Learn mushroom cultivation hands-on: substrate prep, spawning, harvesting, and more, free education included!
• Join a James Beard Award-winning farm that supplies Michigan's best restaurants.
• Be part of Ferndale's community scene, think culinary and local events.
