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.

You may work independently or as part of a small team, and collaboration with full-time farm staff is common to ensure consistency and quality in farm operations. This role is ideal for those who want hands-on experience in agriculture while balancing other weekday commitments. Seasonal and weather-related variations can affect the workload, so adaptability and a positive attitude are key.
