We’re hiring. Two positions 🍎🍏

Tasting Room Host
Part host, part storyteller, part craft hospitality.

You’ll welcome guests, pour flights, and share the stories behind what we make here on the farm.

No two days look the same, and that’s kind of the point. If you genuinely like people and can make a stranger feel at home in about 30 seconds, we want to hear from you.

Line Cook
The farm runs on good food and a kitchen that knows how to keep up. You’ll be hands-on in a fast-paced environment, managing prep, supporting the team, and helping deliver the kind of meals that round out a full day at Merridale.

Detail-oriented, physically up for it, and someone who takes pride in a well-run kitchen.

The team here is the real deal.

Good people, good culture, and a farm that’s been built over nearly 40 years by people who care about what they make and who they work alongside.

Apply at the link in our bio- we can’t wait to hear from you!

Rifflandia wasn’t just a festival. It was a September tradition for an entire city, and for 16 years, Merridale got to be a small part of that.

To everyone who shared a cider with us under those tents over the years, thank you. It meant more than you know.

Rest well, Riff.
