PACKING ASSISTANT
Harmony Ridge Farms is a family owned farm set in the rolling hills of Tobaccoville, NC. We grow all-natural produce without the use of chemicals, and our livestock is raised humanely, outdoors on pasture without exception. 2026 will mark our 17th year of diversified production. This is an opportunity to work for a small-scale sustainable family farm. We provide a fun, understanding, educational and rewarding work environment. We currently have a tight knit farm crew and are seeking the right individual(s) to build out our 2026 crew. The Packing Coordinator works alongside the farm Owner/Manager and the Packing Coordinator to fulfill orders and organize deliveries prior to distribution. Orders include restaurants, CSA boxes, community outreach boxes and farmer's market goods. The bulk of the work occurs on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays (8-10 hours each day, with Fridays usually closer to 5-6 hours). We start early (typically 5:30-6am). The Packing Assistant will also help complete invoices on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Weekly inventories will be conducted on Friday mornings. Most of the work is conducted indoors, with opportunities to add additional hours working in field. This position may also be a full time position for someone willing to do additional field or wash/pack tasks on the farm - see our other ad for "Field Worker".
