Employment Opportunities


We are looking for positive, friendly wine-lovers to join our team. Green Bird Organic Cellars and Farm is a mom-and-pop vineyard and boutique winery producing fewer than 1000 cases of handcrafted, 100% estate-grown wine and hard-cider each year -- we are the farmers, the winemakers, the bookkeepers, the tasting room servers. However, we can’t do it all on our own as we’ve seen significant growth in the number of visitors to our tasting room in the last two years. We are looking for Tasting Room Servers who will best embody the Green Bird vision and brand as we continue to grow. While this is a seasonal position, for the right year-round local this has the potential to evolve into a managerial position after a summer of proven work and vision-fit.
