Job Description

Salary: $17.00 - $20.00 per hour

About Our Farm: Founded in 2002, Pats Pastured provides the highest quality pasture-raised and grass-fed meats. Our goal is to provide our livestock with a life that allows them to express their natural instincts fully in a pasture environment. That means that our pigs get to root, run and play; our chickens get to peck, scratch and crow; our turkeys gobble and strut; and our cows eat grass outside, NOT corn in confinement.

General Description: Our farm is looking for motivated and out-going individuals with a passion for agriculture and food to assist with weekly processing of poultry.

  • Disassembling and washing all equipment and hand tools. Washing all tables, cutting boards, and floors. Scrubbing down floors and walls.

  • Communicate quality issues to supervisor.

  • Follow and comply, or ensure compliance, with established procedures, including weights and measures, health and sanitation, and safe work practices.

  • Ability to visually examine products for quality and freshness.

  • Good communication skills and willingness to work as part of a team.

  • Strong work ethic and ability to work in a fast-paced environment with a sense of urgency.

EXPERIENCE AND REQUIREMENTS:


  • Experience working in food production (cooking, butchering, food manufacturing) a plus.

  • Must be able to lift and move up to 50 lbs on a regular basis.

  • In an 8-hour work day: standing/walking 6-8 hours.

  • Exposure to temperatures: less than 32 degrees Fahrenheit (freezers), 32-40 degrees Fahrenheit (refrigerators), greater than 90 degrees Fahrenheit.

  • Ability to work in a wet and cold environment.

  • Ability to handle knives and other cutting equipment.

  • Ability to use tools and equipment, including box cutters, pluckers, scalders, and meat grinders.

  • Must be 18 years of age or older.

$17.00 - $20.00 per hour; health insurance is not provided.
