About Hidden Valley Orchards

Do you want a fun place to work and earn $14.00–$16.00 per hour? Hidden Valley Orchards is a working farm and premier agritourism destination between Springboro and Lebanon, Ohio. We grow corn, pumpkins, and seasonal crops while creating memorable guest experiences through public events, field trips, private events, retail markets, and interactive farm activities.

We are looking for adaptable, positive, hardworking team members who enjoy outdoor work, engaging with people, and being part of a fast-paced, hands-on farm environment.

The Farm & Guest Experience Associate is a dynamic, cross-functional role that blends:

  • Guest service & hospitality
  • Educational programming facilitation
  • Farm labor & property maintenance
  • Event setup & operational support

This role shifts with the seasons and business needs — some days are guest-facing and high energy, while others focus on behind-the-scenes farm work and maintenance.

Key Responsibilities

Visitor Engagement & Hospitality

Greet guests warmly and proactively provide directions, activity information, and safety guidance.

Lead and facilitate school field trips.

Host interactive experiences.

Operate retail and market areas.

Monitor activity areas for cleanliness and safety throughout the day.

Assist with birthday parties, private events, and seasonal festivals.

Maintain a high level of energy and hospitality.

Farm & Property Work

Assist with orchard and crop production tasks.

Perform daily animal care duties.

Maintain farm grounds.

Help unload deliveries and move produce or materials across property.

Teamwork & Operations

Transition between guest-facing and operational roles as needed.

Assist in opening and closing procedures across activity areas.

Complete safety checks before guests enter play zones and activity stations.

Support cross-departmental needs during high-traffic periods.

Uphold farm values of hospitality, safety, teamwork, and integrity.

Model a positive attitude and strong work ethic at all times.

Requirements

  • Comfortable working outdoors in all weather conditions.
  • Able to lift 40–50 lbs and remain on feet for extended periods.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Willingness to work weekends, nights, and peak seasonal days.
  • Flexible and adaptable in a fast-changing environment.

Benefits

  • This position offers a starting wage range of $14.00–$16.00 per hour, based on experience, agricultural knowledge, guest engagement skills, mechanical aptitude, and demonstrated leadership qualities.
  • Team members may be eligible for pay increases as they develop expanded farm skills, strengthen guest interaction abilities, take initiative on projects, and consistently model strong teamwork and accountability.
  • We prioritize promoting from within and offer leadership roles. Team members who work during our peak season (September 15 – October 31) may have access to performance-based bonus opportunities.
  • Hands-on agricultural and hospitality experience.
  • A fun, team-oriented environment.
  • The chance to help create memorable experiences for thousands of guests each season.
  • Seasonal position.
