Seminary Hill Hiring for Assistant Cider Maker at Callicoon, NY Full Time

Learn Commercial Cider Making from the Ground Up

Seminary Hill Orchard & Cidery, an award-winning orchard-based cidery, is seeking an entry level assistant cider maker. It’s a great opportunity to learn all about the cider making process while also doing copious amounts of cleaning! Seminary Hill is a new, growing company with lots of facets, so helping out in other departments is part of the job. To be sure, the largest portion of your time will be spent with cider production, and with closely related tasks such as harvesting fruit, placing limb spreaders, or other orchard tasks, or leading tastings, but there will regularly be a variety of other tasks which could include shoveling snow, or moving tables, serving at events, etc.

Some things to know:

• Callicoon is in the Catskills, a beautiful area with a network of small towns.
• We’re all about bringing out what’s in the apple -not the pumpkin spice.
• We have a real focus on product quality and accompanying pickiness about the steps we take. So, paying attention, carefully following directions, and asking questions if you’re unsure, are imperative.
• There are often opportunities for creative problem solving.
• There are some long days (bottling, pressing, filtering, etc. can go long)
• We offer competitive compensation.
• It’s a gorgeous setting to work in, and a one-of-a-kind facility.
• We expect organic certification by 2023 harvest.
• The tasting room has a full farm to table menu, and we host and cater weddings and other events.
• It truly is a lot of cleaning.
