Shifts are typically concentrated on Saturdays and Sundays, with occasional holiday coverage, and working hours may vary based on the season and farm needs. While many duties are performed independently, you may sometimes collaborate with other part-time staff or farm owners to ensure all tasks are completed efficiently.
