We’re looking for 2 to join our team! 📣
We’re an urban mushroom farm in the heart of Fortitude Valley, across from the Valley Metro train station (perfect for getting to work). We’re a small team of 4 currently. We’re looking for someone who is dependable, friendly, proactive, who wants to learn, and has a keen eye for detail. We’re easy going and trust you to do the daily/ weekly jobs without micromanagement. Farming is not harvesting. We handle the entire lifecycle from culture work to inoculation, incubation, and fruiting plus packing and stock management. There’s also cleaning that happens throughout to make sure we’re giving the mushrooms the right environment, along with food safety requirements.
We will teach you throughout, so no farming experience necessary. We want you to learn and grow with us! We just ask that you can self manage. You can have your headphones on while you’re doing your tasks like inoculating, bagging, cleaning and packing. We do have walk in customers and inquiries, so being able to help with a friendly hello and providing customer service is necessary. If you’re the kind of person who can politely say to a customer ‘Im not sure but I’ll find out for you’ when you’re first starting out, then you’re our kind of people. It’s also important to note that farming is like hospitality in that you will be on your feet walking around. It can also be a bit physical at times, so you must be able to carry up to 20kgs. Farming also crosses over with lab work because sterile technique is an important key skill (otherwise we’re farming mould and not mushrooms).
About us, we’re ex-hospo, we’re easy going and we love playing pinball after work. We enjoy a little electronic jazz or deep house on the speakers. We’ve built this farm ourselves and we’re still in the process of building. We have not achieved the farm’s final form so we’re happy if you see ways to help us make things better. We’re also looking for people we can trust so it can take the pressure off of us a bit because we could use a day off. 😅
Immediate start is ideal.
