About the Position:

The Finnriver Cider Garden is an unusual and dynamic rural space — a winery, food establishment, collaborative working farm and public and private event venue. It is a regionally beloved community gathering space with an earnest mission to celebrate the beauty and bounty of the earth, to reconnect people to the land that sustains us and to grow community. At the Cider Garden, Finnriver seeks to role model principles and practices of community-based enterprise with a heartfelt commitment to care for the place and for the people who work at and patronize our farm business.

We seek Cider Garden Host with customer service, beverage, or food industry experience, who will help create a positive, memorable, clean, organized, educational, and exceedingly welcoming environment. The Host role blends traditional host, barkeep and educator roles— including the range from serving cider, to setup and clean-up of the Taproom, Pavilion and Cider Garden facilities, to conducting sales to offering guided tastings. This is a diverse and dynamic role! 

Our goal is to promote growing sales of all Finnriver offerings, as well as offering a delightful Finnriver interaction and an inspiring small farm experience overall. The Cider Garden can be a demanding environment, requiring the ability to stay energized, speak up, entertain a crowd, and multi-task effectively while maintaining composure and grace in the presence of customers and co-workers. 

One essential function of the Host role is guiding customers through cider tastings so we seek folks with an interest in learning and sharing about the production, history and experiences of cider! Self-motivation to tidy, organize and remain occupied on slower days is required as well. Good humor and love of humanity is essential!

This is a seasonal position from June-October. We are looking for two people to join our team!
