Growing up on my family's farm in Pennsylvania, I never would have pictured the life I live at Willow Haven farm. As a kid I spent summers in our large family garden we called, “The Truck Patch”. I helped mom every summer, picking beans, weeding, and cutting fruit and vegetables for the hundreds of jars of canned and frozen produce we put up. Now I spends less time out in the field and more time in the kitchen doing the same preserving for my own farm family. Farmer Reuben values my many hours doing much of the behind the scenes marketing, writing emails to cultivate customers and capturing the farm story each week. I'm always learning along the way in my quest to improve the farm experience for each of her current and future farm members in our 500+ member, year-round customized farm box delivery program. Reading our stories will connect you with your food in a way you never experienced before. Someday soon you will want to fit local food into your life and we'll be here to help you.
👨🌾 Imagine getting paid to connect people with real food

Reader, Every day Farmer Reuben meets someone new who’s just discovering our General Store. They come in for sourdough, a hot lunch, or a fresh pastry — and their eyes light up when they realize they’ve finally found a place that doesn’t compromise on clean, local food. That moment matters. Because Willow Haven General Store isn’t meant to be just another shop. We’re building a place where families can eat without second-guessing labels… where neighbors gather around coffee and conversation… where choosing food that heals is the easy choice. But here’s the challenge: right now, Reuben and Wray are spending too much time on dishes and floors when what they really need to be doing is growing the store into the vision we all share — a trusted local food hub for our community. That’s why we’re hiring. This position is more than “helping out.” You’ll play a key role in:
And there are perks too:
You don’t need retail experience. What matters is a strong work ethic, a smile, and the desire to make healthy living easier for our community. Imagine walking out of work each day knowing you helped build something bigger — a place where families eat better, neighbors connect, and uncompromising food is finally accessible. We'll keep farming for you! Wray, Reuben and Tessa DeMaster PS: If this sparks something in you, don’t wait. When you take the step now — you might find this is exactly where you belong. |
