About The Position
Butternut Mountain Farm is hiring an experienced production employee for its year-round food manufacturing and packaging facility in Morrisville, Vermont. The role supports food production and packaging operations, including syrup handling and barrel washing. Employees may move between jobs and work areas as priorities change, and are expected to work safely and accurately while adapting to changing schedules, equipment needs, and production plans. The company seeks reliable, driven, adaptable employees who want to learn and improve. Employees who develop their skills may share knowledge, help train others, and take on additional responsibilities. The starting rate is $21.40–$23.60 per hour. The schedule is Monday through Thursday, 3:00 PM–1:00 AM, with Friday through Sunday off. Occasional overtime or early arrivals may be required. Overtime is generally offered voluntarily, but mandatory overtime may sometimes be necessary, particularly on Fridays.
