We are less than weeks away from opening our brick & mortar at 2112 East Main Street. We have a couple of really busy weeks ahead and need some extra hands. Looking for long term PT and FT food loving people to join the crew, as well short term help to get us moved and open. No late nights and little weekend work. Please send a resume, or list of experience or simply let us know why you are interested to [email protected]. Experience is great and certainly encouraged and valued, but enthusiasm and willingness to work hard and learn in a stress-free, food centric environment are also welcomed. Your own reliable transportation and being detail orientated are an absolute must.
Thanks so much, we look forward to hearing from you

I just want to say that I am so full of gratitude For Fall Line Farms & Local Roots. Their awesome leader Becky Lillywhite, and her amazing volunteers and staff, have enabled so many small local vendors to continue to do what we do and get our product out to our customers. As a vendor, I want you all to know that this organization is just an amazing partner. I cannot begin to tell you how much time and effort they spend to promote us and, most importantly now, coordinate getting our product to customers. If you are quiet because of social distancing, but still want to be of help, please consider offering them help- contact me for details, no customer contact required! Beyond grateful, wish I could tag... but!!! Just thank you FLFLR!
