About Working at Heeman’s:

No two days are the same at Heeman’s and that keeps things interesting and exciting. As seasonal farm business that’s open year-round, we see some pretty busy times and experience down seasons too. The environment here in the greenhouse and outdoors means it can be sunny and hot or cold and snowy. You’ll need to be capable of performing in this kind of environment and you’ll spend most of your time in an office sitting for prolonged periods and walking between the retail sales floor sales, maybe even helping a guest with flats of berries into their cart (that can weigh up to 30lbs). Heeman’s is proudly a family owned, farm/agriculture-based business and our employees are classified as agriculture employees under the ESA.
