Hunting season is an especially busy and exciting time at Red Barn Meats, and our team plays an important role in helping local hunters turn their harvest into quality products they can enjoy and share with family and friends.

Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

  • Cut, grind, and prepare fresh meats and smoked meat products for retail and custom sales according to cut sheets.
  • Stuff links and sausages according to product and cut sheet specifications.
  • Follow USDA requirements and established food safety procedures.
  • Communicate with team members and management regarding product quality, equipment, or production concerns.

  • Good time-management skills.
  • A team-player mindset with a positive, can-do attitude.
  • Critical-thinking and problem-solving skills.
  • Strong attention to detail, so to show us you've read carefully, include the exact phrase "Blue Buffalo" in your email subject line; applications without it will not be reviewed.

Previous meat-cutting experience is a plus, but we value a great attitude, reliability, and willingness to learn!

Physical Requirements

  • Manipulate items weighing up to 60 lbs. in various directions for storage.
