Farm Hand – Job Responsibilities
At Eagle Eye Farm, our farm hands are more than just caretakers — they are an essential part of the guest experience and daily operation of the farm. This role requires hard work, flexibility, initiative, teamwork, and a genuine passion for both animals and people.
This is a physically demanding, fast-paced position that requires employees to stay busy, take pride in their work, and step in wherever needed. Every team member plays a role in caring for the animals, supporting guests, and maintaining the high standards of the farm.
