The ideal candidate is steady, adaptable, and comfortable with repetitive hand tasks, light machinery, printers, and the physical realities of the job—including moving between different production locations, fluctuating temperatures, shifting priorities, and periods of busy, focused work. This role reports to both the Production Manager and the Seasonal Product Manager, and will move fluidly between their workflows as production needs shift throughout the winter and spring.

• The hand packing of seeds into envelopes for our seed packs;
• Printing of envelopes and labels for seed packing;
• Finishing our line of art packs by hand or with our custom packing machine;
• Pulling and packing seeds from the cooler to be tested for germination;
• Banding of products using banding equipment;
• Seasonal packing of living tubers and bulbs;
• Assembling other products, such as seed collections, seed shaker boxes, and gift products;
• Pulling orders and packing them into boxes for shipping;
• Other production-related tasks as they come up, including some light cleaning and maintenance work.

This position requires:

• Comfort and ease both with repetitive hand work and operating light machinery;
• Comfort and ease with spreadsheets and inventory software (light computer work)
• Comfort towards periods of work that involve dirt, peat moss, vermiculite;
• The ability to learn the various steps of tasks and follow those directions consistently to maintain the quality of the work.
• The ability to complete a task efficiently according to our time and quality standards (can meet key performance indicators)
• Lifting upwards of 40 pounds unassisted
• Long periods of working on your feet or sitting at a desk;
• An attitude of flexibility and a willingness to be interrupted and redirected as needed, including work location;
• Preparedness with working in fluctuating temperatures;
• Ease with working both independently and as part of a team;
• An inclination toward taking pride in your work;
• The ability to keep a friendly and open attitude even during busy periods without becoming overwhelmed; and
• A willingness to take responsibility for the work you've produced, including both successes and errors.
