Our farm is the combination of four different businesses; the farm (Marion Acres), the poultry processing facility (Helvetia Poultry Processing), vegetable and flower production (Marion Acres Garden), and the retail grocery store (Helvetia Farm Market). Many of our crew members work across these four businesses based on the season and the tasks that need to be done. Because we strive to provide our community with high-quality, pasture-based meats, eggs, and seasonal produce, our needs shift in tune with the seasons.  

​

Our primary hiring need is in the spring when activity on the farm, in the garden, and in processing increases dramatically. However, we are always taking applications for hardworking, positive, and motivated individuals.  If this sounds like you, fill out an application below and bring it by or submit it online!
