Lemon and Flower Farm Job in California at Arvore De Luz Farms – 2019

My husband and I own Arvore De Luz, a farming operation in Temecula and Fallbrook California that grows citrus, primarily lemons on (18 acres) and flowers Proteas and other species on a nearby farm of 4 acres. We are located an hour north of San Diego and two hours southeast of Los Angeles in the De Luz Heights and Santa Margarita Plateau.  Last year we sold about 90,000 lbs of Meyer Lemons and hundreds of Protea flowers to wholesalers and packing houses. We also sell at local farmer’s markets in La Jolla, Temecula, Murieta and the surrounding areas when we have fresh produce. This fall we are launching an ecommerce enabled website where visitors can purchase our products. And we are applying for a commercial bottlers license so we can sell whole lemon juice direct to the consumer and through retail outlets. 

Major initiatives this fall include grafting over 1000 trees with Eureka Lemons and expanding our flower operations.

We are seeking an energetic and enthusiastic all around employee for the lemon and flower farm job who has basic gardening knowledge and/or experience or a strong desire to learn about horticulture, Protea flower production and citrus farming in a commercial enterprise.  We can train you, but a positive, hard-working attitude is a must. 

The lemon and flower farm job would be a long-term position or seasonal/short term for the right person.  We are looking for someone who can work 20-40 hours per week, able to lift 25lbs easily, have a valid drivers license & can legally work in the U.S. You will need a car. We’re offering $15.00 to start.
