Farm Description

Since 2018 Raindance Farm has existed to serve our community in Washtenaw County by connecting children and adults with the beauty of nature and the gifts of wellness. We currently steward 44 acres of land and intensively cultivate only a few acres of cut flowers for local markets.

We are a small family farm run by a wife and husband who have three children at home. Currently our crew includes the two of us working full-time plus 5 local parents who work part-time (4-18 hours/week) alongside us.

The work takes place in the outdoor field, in hoophouses, and in our barn studio. This fall, most of the work is harvesting flowers and making bouquets. This crew member may also help prepare beds for planting and transplant seedlings.

Job Title: Flower Farm Crew Member

Weekly Schedule, Hours, & Compensation

Season Dates: Beginning mid to late August, or early September

Schedule: Full-time position. Tuesday- Sunday, or Monday- Saturday. 6-8 hour work days for a total of 40 hours per week.

Rate of Pay: $20/hour without housing, $18/hour with housing

Desired Time Commitment: We would like to hire this position for August through November with a hope that it is a good fit for all sides and this job could continue year-round.

As farmers we work alongside everyone on the crew, and it is important to us that farm workers feel safe, comfortable, supported, and are getting what they need from this job.

Raindance seeks to be a safe & welcoming space for all kinds of people. Please know that if you are a person of color, a woman, a friend in the LGBTQ+ community, an immigrant, a stay-at-home parent, a person of any age, you are welcome in this space and with the folks who work here.

Job Description

This position is made for someone who loves nature, weather, outdoor work, and flowers.

You will be trained in how to harvest and bunch a variety of specialty cut flowers. On a regular morning, you will arrive to a quiet farm, wash and fill buckets for harvest, and spend time harvesting blooms in the field and greenhouses.

We truly love working outdoors, getting in our fresh air and exercise for the day. If this sounds like you, please let us know. Farming is really hard work, so we don’t want to romanticize it too much. Sometimes the outdoors is uncomfortably hot or cold, or mosquitoes swarm, or there is squatting and bending involved.

Job Requirements

  • Have previous experience working in agriculture

  • Are early morning kind of people who genuinely enjoy getting things done at 7am

  • Are able to move in a focused way through a list of harvest tasks with an eye toward efficiency and planning for what is next

  • Some English language is helpful as we are not proficient in Spanish, but we are willing to learn Spanish and we are willing to practice English conversation!



Kristen is most proud of being a mother, but she started the farm in 2018 and really likes doing this work. Kristen spends most of her time harvesting, making bouquets, and delivering flowers.

Adam is married to Kristen and joined the farm team in 2024. He spends most of his time repairing things, building and installing what the farm needs, maintaining tractors & vehicles, and preparing and planting out beds.

Roman has been working at Raindance since 2024 and he is amazing! He is very good at building things, but he also helps us with harvesting and planting.

This is our Barn Studio where we make bouquets in cold weather. Here we are preparing for Valentine’s Day with some part-time crew members.
