Seasonal Farm Team Member

Brookdale Farms is hiring for the Seasonal Farm Team Member position in Eureka, MO. This hands-on role supports the operation's day-to-day production and care work. Reliable execution and early communication matter because the work directly affects plants, animals, equipment, coworkers, customers, or the surrounding property. What you will do • Prepare the assigned farm attraction, guest area, produce display, equipment, or supplies before opening and keep the area orderly through the shift. • Welcome visitors, explain the assigned activity or farm procedure clearly, and follow the employer's rules for safe guest movement and participation. • Communicate crowd, weather, equipment, product, safety, or customer-service concerns to the farm lead promptly. • Assist with general farm maintenance and upkeep, planting, harvesting, cleanliness, and organization, switching priorities as weather, crops, events, or visitor volume change the day's needs. • Operate assigned farm machinery or equipment only under supervision and after instruction, complete the required checks, and immediately report damage, unusual operation, or any task beyond authorization. • Provide friendly customer assistance, help direct vehicle and foot traffic, and work assigned festival or farm stations while maintaining safe separation between guests and agricultural work areas. How the work fits together Agritourism work connects visitors with a working farm during a concentrated seasonal window. The team prepares before opening, checks the assigned area and supplies, welcomes and directs guests, resets the space throughout service, and completes an orderly close. Employees must balance warmth and efficiency with clear boundaries around farm equipment, animals, crops, traffic, food, and weather. At Brookdale Farms, the employer also makes these role-specific priorities clear: Assist with general farm maintenance and upkeep, planting, harvesting, cleanliness, and organization, switching priorities as weather, crops, events, or visitor volume change the day's needs. Operate assigned farm machinery or equipment only under supervision and after instruction, complete the required checks, and immediately report damage, unusual operation, or any task beyond authorization. Provide friendly customer assistance, help direct vehicle and foot traffic, and work assigned festival or farm stations while maintaining safe separation between guests and agricultural work areas. What the employer is looking for • At least 16 years old, with the understanding that some equipment or assignments may require age 18 or older; prior farm or outdoor experience is useful but is not required. • Positive attitude, reliability, responsibility, self-motivation, clear communication, availability for flexible weekend and holiday hours, and physical capacity for manual work outdoors in changing weather. • Dependable attendance, direct communication, and willingness to follow the employer's safety, quality, and customer- or production-care procedures. • Ability to complete the role's active, in-person work and to ask for instruction before using unfamiliar tools, equipment, products, or animal-handling methods.

The hiring page does not state a numeric wage, guaranteed weekly hours, fixed shift pattern, precise season end date, or benefits for seasonal team members. Applicants should enter an accurate available start date and discuss fall-festival dates, pre-opening and closing work, machinery authorization, weather procedures, expected lifting, compensation, and the weekly schedule when contacted by Brookdale Farms.

This is an in-person horticulture and outdoor position with a small operation. Daily priorities can change with weather, plant or animal condition, equipment availability, customer schedules, and the season.

Applicants should expect active work that may include long periods of standing or walking, bending, lifting, repetitive hand tasks, noise, dust, mud, pollen, heat, cold, rain, or work around moving equipment. The exact physical demands differ by assignment. Candidates should discuss any accommodation needs with the employer and confirm the final schedule, overtime treatment, training period, travel expectations, and benefit eligibility before accepting an offer.
