Employment Opportunities
at Cherry Crest Adventure Farm

Job Categories

Custodial - Our custodial jobs include responsibilities such as wiping down tables, checking trash cans, watering flowers, picking up litter and cleaning restrooms. Custodians, especially the ones that work in the maze, are frequently asked questions by customers. Custodians need to be familiar with the farm and its attractions and be friendly towards customers. They also need to be organized, systematic, and pay attention to details.

Attendant - Attendants work in areas like our pumpkin slinger, pedal karts, hay chute slide and jump pillow. Attendants need to be good at working with small groups of people, providing them with instructions, and keeping an eye out for safety.

Food Service - Our food service areas require a range of abilities. For example, the Lemonade stand does not require abilities in cooking. Making the lemonade is a simple but specific process. The Home Cookin Café, on the other hand, requires the ability to make wraps, burgers and fries. For this job category we look for friendly employees, who are able to pay attention to the details of how something is made. They also need to be able to count money and run a register.

Public Speaking - Our public speaking jobs include stalk talkers, Farm Ed Center attendants, and our host maze master. These jobs require an ability to speak in front of groups of 20 or more people. Individuals in these positions need to be able to project their voices, be outgoing, enthusiastic and love working with people. They also need to be able to memorize a short presentation and/or facts about the farm.

Instructor - In the fall we will be looking for individuals who are willing to work part time in our School Tour program. These individuals need to love children, be willing to teach short lessons and learn facts about farming. This is a great job for moms, retired teachers, bus drivers, etc.

Here is some of what our past staff members have said about us.

"My working experience at Cherry Crest was phenomenal. I really enjoyed what I did at the maze. I feel that the bosses are reasonable and can relate to the employees. After 2 years I can officially say it is awesome."

"Cherry Crest Farm is a great place to have your children begin getting work experience. It is a safe, Christian environment. I never had to have a second thought for any unwelcome influences in my daughter's life. I knew she was always safe and working with employees that had a good moral background. It gave her a great chance to experience the work field, yet it gave her the schedule flexibility of still being a kid and enjoying her summer vacation."

"My kids have worked at Cherry Crest for the past four years. It has been a wonderful experience for them. I'm especially grateful for CCF management's commitment to help these kids become better employees. Our boys have developed skills that will benefit them, not only during their years of working on the farm, but in their future careers as well. I've been so impressed with the integrity of the CCF management. Seeing how a business is operated well has been a valuable learning experience for our kids. As a parent, I value what they are learning as CCF employees as much as they value their paychecks!"

"Cherry Crest Farm is an amazeing place to work. I'll be 14 by the time that the next season starts, and that will be my 5th year working there. Since there weren't many jobs out there for tweens, this was a great opportunity for me to get a job (and some cash). The managers there are kind, helpful, and very patient. If you do something wrong, they kindly show you how to do it right. After awhile, the other employees that work there become kind of like family.. All in all, I have had a great experience working at Cherry Crest, which I am sure will be with me for the rest of my life."

"I have had a lot of fun working with the customers and staff of Cherry Crest over the past four years. The work environment is very friendly and inviting, and I've made friendships with my bosses and co-workers that I value greatly. Plus, I get free fudge samples!"

"One of my greatest pleasures as food service supervisor is watching our young employees mature and learn real life work habits which really helps them prepare for "the real world" which awaits them after school."

"It was such a great experience to work at Cherry Crest Farm for so many reasons. Here are just a few. First of all, the people there are so friendly and nice. There were so many really fun employee parties with great pizza and soda. With the working aspect, it was fun work because you get to meet and talk with lots of new people and also you get to hang out with your friends. It was also nice to be working outside and not stuck inside an office. I would really recommend this job to anybody."

"Working at Cherry Crest Farm was one of the highlights of my summer. The friendly, Christian environment is so great. Everyone is extremely kind. One of the fun things you get to do at CCF is be involved with wonderful staff parties and serving other people. When I first started working at CCF I didn't know many people, but by the end of the summer I had a lot of new friends. I love working at CCF!"
