Work That Changes With the Seasons and Changes You
At the farm, no two days are the same. You might be planting organic vegetables in the spring, harvesting heirloom apples in the fall, or testing new sustainable growing methods in our greenhouses.
We operate 365 days a year, which means there’s always something new to learn and contribute to.
Opportunities include:
- Seasonal roles: Join us for a change of scenery and help with floral harvests, bouquet assembly, or fieldwork.
- Full-time careers: Grow into leadership, agricultural operations, or sustainability roles that shape Wegmans’ future.

Many of our employees started in Wegmans stores and discovered a new calling at the farm — turning a personal interest in agriculture into a fulfilling career.
