Archway is a family business run by a tight-knit crew of dedicated farmers and butchers.
We’re looking for a Farm Store Manager to take ownership of day-to-day store operations — keeping the store, coolers, and self-serve/honor-system checkout running smoothly, and acting as the main point of contact for customers.
Responsibilities
- Manage the daily operations of the farm store, including restocking meat cases, dairy, eggs, and other local products
- Manage the monthly meat CSA and custom-cut animal order fulfillment
- Monitor inventory and coordinate with the processing team so the store has product when it needs it
- Keep the store, coolers, and freezers clean, organized, and properly temperature-controlled
- Oversee the self-serve/honor-system checkout process, including reconciling Venmo and cash payments against what left the store
- Follow proper weighing, pricing, and labeling protocols on all products stocked in the store
- Greet and assist customers, answering questions about products, cuts, and pricing
- Help train and coordinate any other store or front-of-house staff
- Follow food safety and handling procedures and comply with establishment health and sanitation practices
Experience and Requirements
- Trustworthy and reliable — this role runs on an honor system, so integrity matters more than in a typical retail job
- Prior experience in retail, farm stand, or small food-business operations preferred; supervisory experience a plus
- Comfortable with basic cash and mobile-payment (Venmo) reconciliation
- Strong communication skills and a friendly, customer-first attitude
- Ability to follow directions with attention to detail and complete multiple tasks independently
- Able to lift and carry 40–50+ lbs
- Comfortable working outdoors and around livestock/farm operations, including brief exposure to cooler/freezer temperatures
- Transportation, and the ability to show up regularly and reliably to scheduled work times
- Strong work ethic and a desire to work as part of a team
