Mushroom Farm Crew Member

Mindful Mushrooms is hiring for 2 mushroom farm crew members - one to work 2 days per week and the other to work 3 days per week. We are looking to fill open positions on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. This entry-level farm position is for someone comfortable with manual labor and repetitious, assembly-line work.

Employees will be responsible for identifying and harvesting mature mushrooms in our indoor fruiting room and neatly storing them in bins. They will remove contaminated grow blocks and uphold cleaning, maintenance, and organizational standards. They will also move myceliated grow blocks from our lab into the fruiting room, organize them onto appropriate shelves, and cut them open for fruiting. Growing mushrooms is hard work, requires much attention to detail, organization, and cleaning and sterilization practices. Part of this position involves bending and lifting up to 300 five lb mushroom blocks and transporting them with an electric wheelbarrow to the lab structure. Must be able to lift 40 lbs and be comfortable working alone.

This farm is very dog friendly, so if you have a friendly and well-behaved dog, you can bring them. We are an LGBTQ-owned farm, and homophobia, transphobia, and racism will NOT be accepted.

The farm is located in Oregon City about 30 minutes south of Portland. You must have reliable transportation and be available on Sundays. The pay is $17/hr. Please send your resume to lmercurio750@gmail.com and cc riley@mindful-mushrooms.com
