Workers will perform a variety of agricultural fieldwork related to cultivation, maintenance, and harvesting of vegetables, herbs, and berries. Duties include planting, transplanting, weeding, thinning, and hoeing crops such as cabbage, carrots, fresh beans, peas, onions, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, summer squash, and tomatoes. The work will take place in both field and greenhouse settings. In greenhouses, workers will plant and transplant seedlings. In the field, workers will plant, maintain, and harvest crops. Post-harvest duties will include washing, sorting, culling, and packing produce for storage, distribution, and sale. Workers may also transport and/or deliver crops from the field to the farm and/or retail stands. Additional responsibilities include loading and unloading trucks and other farm vehicles; setting up, operating, and maintaining irrigation systems; and cutting brush and vegetation around fields, buildings, and equipment. Workers may be asked to operate trucks or other multi-purpose vehicles to transport workers from housing (whether on or off farm) to the farm properties; haul tools, supplies, or crops; transport workers from place to place around the farm properties during the workday (including on public roads to reach farmer's fields); and/or transport workers to the grocery store, bank, or laundry facilities on an as-needed basis. Workers that are requested to drive will be required to possess a valid driver’s license; no worker will be rejected for not having a driver's license.

The 7:00am to 7:00pm work window is intended to accommodate varying farm conditions, such as weather and crop readiness, and to ensure that workers are able to complete the required weekly hours. Workers will not work a full 12-hour shift. Workers may be offered additional hours beyond the standard schedule, subject to the mutual agreement of the employee and management. Workers will be provided with a 60-minute lunch break, staggered between 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m., as determined by both the workers and management. Workers may choose where to eat their lunch and must return to work after the 60-minute break. In addition, workers will receive a 15-minute break in the morning as agreed upon by the worker and management. The daily and weekly work schedules may vary due to weather, sunlight, temperature, crop conditions, or other factors. The employer will notify workers of any changes to the schedule.
