DELIVERY DRIVER/ WAREHOUSE WORKER
Overview
Join our dynamic culinary team at Berries and Flour: Bakery & Harvest Goods in NW Champaign. Our mission is to support small to medium local farms that grow specialty crops by serving as a wholesale product manufacturer. We purchase seasonal food and process it to sell to chefs and institutions, and use in our own product line of jams, simple syrups & shrubs, and dehydrated flowers, herbs, and spices.
We are a unique kitchen! We are a wholesale manufacturer, which means we make products for others to sell and use. Because of the seasonality of our ingredients, and the variety of products our clients want, every week seems to bring a new project!
This role offers an opportunity to contribute to Berries and Flour through delivering orders and shipping packages.
Delivery driving includes drop-off of any of our Wild Cake Club subscriptions to our pick-up sites in Urbana, Champaign, Mahomet, and Monticello, and products to our partner retail stores. Fridays would be best for this, but the day can be flexible.
You will also prepare and ship orders outside of C-U.
You can drive the business vehicle.
Most of our staff can utilize their other creative skills as well. Some take photos, some tend a garden for us, and others write copy. As part of a small staff, you will learn a wide variety of skills and this position is perfect for motivated individuals ready to make a positive impact in our agricultural region through food. Become part of a lively environment that values teamwork, creativity, and a commitment to nourishing our community.
All positions are paid roles dedicated to supporting our team’s growth and success.
Delivery driving is $15/ hr.
