Seasonal Greenhouse Worker

Farmington Greenhouse is hiring for the Seasonal Greenhouse Worker position in Farmington, MN. 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 • Seed, transplant, space, prune, trellis, irrigate, harvest, or pack greenhouse crops according to the production plan. • Check environmental, irrigation, sanitation, and crop conditions and communicate deviations promptly. • Clean and organize tools, benches, channels, harvest containers, and production areas according to food- or plant-safety rules. • Water, fertilize, prune, and otherwise care for greenhouse plants so crops remain healthy, evenly grown, and ready for their next production or sales stage. • Prepare soil and growing materials, transplant plants, assist with harvest or plant movement, and follow the greenhouse's instructions for spacing, labeling, and crop handling. • Keep benches, floors, tools, containers, and shared greenhouse workspaces clean and organized, and report plant stress, pests, irrigation trouble, damaged stock, or supply needs. How the work fits together Controlled-environment work is still driven by living crops. Employees begin with irrigation, climate, and crop-health checks, then complete scheduled propagation, cultural care, harvest, packing, and sanitation. Accurate observations and records help the small team respond before a minor equipment or crop issue becomes a production loss. At Farmington Greenhouse, the employer also makes these role-specific priorities clear: Water, fertilize, prune, and otherwise care for greenhouse plants so crops remain healthy, evenly grown, and ready for their next production or sales stage. Prepare soil and growing materials, transplant plants, assist with harvest or plant movement, and follow the greenhouse's instructions for spacing, labeling, and crop handling. Keep benches, floors, tools, containers, and shared greenhouse workspaces clean and organized, and report plant stress, pests, irrigation trouble, damaged stock, or supply needs. What the employer is looking for • A high school diploma or equivalent, ability to work independently and as part of a team, and willingness to follow recurring crop-care and greenhouse-organization procedures. • Ability to lift at least 15 pounds, stand for extended periods, work in changing greenhouse temperatures, and perform active plant-care tasks; prior greenhouse, horticulture, or agriculture experience is preferred. • 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. Schedule, conditions, and compensation This is a seasonal, in-person greenhouse position with flexible scheduling opportunities. The employer does not publish guaranteed weekly hours, fixed workdays, a numeric wage, benefits, or the expected end date on the current job page. Applicants should therefore state their complete availability and ask for the active seasonal timeframe, shift length, starting compensation, weekend expectations, and any employee plant discount or leave eligibility during the hiring conversation. The employer does not publish a numeric wage range on this page, so no compensation has been estimated. Applicants should confirm the final hours, overtime treatment, starting assignment, travel or reporting point, supplied equipment, and benefit eligibility directly with the employer before accepting an offer. 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. The successful person should arrive ready to work, communicate early when a task or condition is unclear, follow the employer's safety and quality procedures, and leave tools, vehicles, production areas, and job sites secure and ready for the next shift. 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. Only compensation and benefits expressly published by the employer are included here; unpublished terms have not been estimated.
