Duties may include planting, watering, harvesting, feeding livestock, or maintaining farm equipment. These roles can be part-time or seasonal, depending on the farm's needs.

These skills are important because weekend farmers must efficiently contribute to vital farm tasks, often within tight timeframes and alongside other workers or supervisors.
