Hi there,
I’m looking to rent a workshop or artist studio space for developing my small flower business in Montpelier. Ideally 500 sq feet or less, hard floor, heat and electricity, window, easy access (first floor level), located in town. Something simple and affordable.

I am growing my small business and am in need of a work space to make my dried flower crafts and fresh flower arrangements.

Please get in touch if you have any leads.

Thank you!

We're now in the process of hiring two farmhands to join us for the 2023 growing season.

The work at Sunrise is primarily focused on certified-organic vegetable production, though the eight-person Sunrise crew is part of everything from seeding vegetables to slaughtering chickens to maple sugaring to light carpentry. Our 400-member CSA is entirely on-farm pickup, so you will have a chance to interact with CSA members whether you’re restocking the kale or selling lamb sausage. The job is 40 hours per week, Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM to 4 PM with a half hour off for lunch. The positions start in April and runs through October.

Qualifications

-We work in rain, sun, snow, wind, heat, and cold—preparedness and a positive attitude are essential for success. We also shift frequently from one task to another, so an ability to transition efficiently is important.

-We aim to work hard during work hours and then knock off at a reasonable time. You must be able to put in a solid eight hours of effort every weekday, lift heavy objects, and deal with whatever comes along. You also need to be able to work closely with other people, since most activities require joint effort.

-You don’t need to have prior farm experience, though that is helpful.

Benefits

-This is a paid position, starting at $15/hour. We'll pay more for experienced hands.

-All the fresh, organic vegetables you can eat; deep discounts on meats and cheeses and other items we sell; unlimited fresh air; sunshine as available.

-The farm is just two miles from White River Junction, the cultural hub of east-central Vermont, and eight miles from Hanover, New Hampshire, home of Dartmouth College. The farm is two hours from Boston, three hours from Montreal, and four hours from New York City.

Application

We prefer an in-person work interview whenever possible. Send an email and resume to [email protected]. We fill jobs on a rolling basis, and as of October 2022 are looking to fill two spots.
