We require a commitment of 7-8 weeks minimum for the duration of the harvest season, and have limited work available prior to harvest start, as well as post-harvest. This position involves managing the harvest crew, quality control and logistics, driving a 2 ton truck and loading and offloading pallets (forklift and/or pallet jack). Typical work days are 5:30 am to late afternoon, 5-7 days a week for the harvest; weather conditions range from cool mornings to hot afternoons – ability to work outdoors in these conditions is a must. Farm experience and Spanish language skills are helpful. A valid driver’s license is required; no children or pets. Housing may be available.

There may be opportunity to assist or fill in for the owners at one or more farmers markets. We currently sell locally in Chico, and also attend the San Francisco Ferry Plaza, Berkeley, and Marin Civic Center farmers markets each weekend during the season.

We are willing to work with students who require paperwork and follow-up for internships. Many of our former employees have been college students and have used the excellent experience acquired on our farm to move on to rich and fulfilling agricultural jobs.

Send Cover Letter & Resume to: info@sierracascadeblueberries.com, or mail to: Sierra Cascade Farm, PO Box 613, Forest Ranch, CA 95942.

Chico Sunrise Rotary presents the annual St. Patrick’s Day Gala!
Bid on a Dinner Under the Stars (on the blueberry farm!!) in the Virtual Auction! The beauty of this event is that while the Gala is a ton of fun with music, dancing, dinner & beverages, you may bid on any of the auction items virtually, so if you can’t make it in person, you may still participate. We are offering the Dinner Under the Stars, a four course meal for six guests, in a gorgeous late-spring setting overlooking the blueberries and mountain views all around. Get some friends together, win this auction item, hire a limo and come on up and let us wait on you! Fun and games guaranteed!! The Gala is March 16th, so stay tuned for the auction details.
For more information, visit the Club’s Facebook page or website.
