Tour Guide

Farm.One is an urban indoor vertical farming company that grows a wide variety of specialty greens, herbs and edible flowers using hydroponic and controlled environment methods. Emphasizing a retail-oriented approach, we cater to high-end restaurants and retail consumers, host public and private events, and have recently opened a bar concept, The Brew Lab. This new concept features a selection of about 20 craft beers, classic cocktails, and wines, both with and sans alcohol.

Over the coming months, the Brew Lab will add an onsite brewery that will serve farm-inspired alcoholic craft beer. The goal is to seamlessly blend the alcohol / non-alcohol social scene into one amazing experience in a way that only Farm.One can do.

This role is for a Tour Guide position. Tour shifts will likely be supplemented with Brew Lab coverage. Tour guide shift(s) will be either Friday or Saturday. Brew Lab coverage could be any day of the week except for Monday. Shift hours: Tuesday: 2:30pm to 8:30pm; Wednesday: 2:30pm to 8:30pm; Thursday: 2:30pm to 10:30pm; Friday: 2:30pm to 11:30pm; Saturday: 12:30pm to 11:30pm; Sunday: 12:30pm to 8:30pm (Saturday and Sunday may have shifts split up)
