Butternut Mountain Farm is one of the largest packers of pure maple syrup in the United States. We operate a year-round food manufacturing and packaging facility in Morrisville, Vermont.
We’re looking for experienced production employees who want more than just a job running the same machine every day.
The people who succeed here are reliable, driven, adaptable, and interested in learning. They ask questions, learn from experience, accept feedback, and look for ways to become better at what they do. As employees develop, we expect them to share what they know, help train others, and become stronger contributors to the team.
Requirements:
Our production environment can change throughout the day. Priorities shift, schedules change, equipment needs attention, and employees may be asked to move between jobs or work areas. You need to be comfortable multitasking, changing direction, solving problems, and continuing to work safely and accurately when the plan changes.

Operate, set up, clean, and support food production and packaging equipment
Perform production tasks safely, accurately, and efficiently
Monitor equipment, materials, product flow, and finished product quality
Identify problems or inconsistencies and communicate them promptly
Complete basic production records and computer/data-entry tasks
Support syrup handling, barrel washing, packaging, and related production operations
Move between tasks or work areas as production priorities change
Cross-train on multiple processes and pieces of equipment
Learn from experienced employees and, as your skills develop, help train and support others
Participate in continuous improvement by identifying better, safer, or more efficient ways to perform the work
What We’re Looking For
Required:
Previous manufacturing or production experience
Dependable attendance and punctuality
Ability to work safely around production machinery
Ability to follow written procedures, quality requirements, and production instructions
Ability to manage multiple responsibilities and adjust to changing priorities
Willingness and ability to learn new equipment, processes, and responsibilities
Constructive attitude and ability to work effectively with different personalities
Ability to accept feedback, learn from mistakes, and improve
Willingness to cross-train and help others learn
Basic computer and data-entry skills
Ability to lift up to 50 lbs. and stand/walk for a 10-hour shift
Ability to safely access, operate, adjust, and clean production equipment throughout the workday
Must be at least 18 years old
We’re especially interested in people who want to grow. Employees who demonstrate strong performance, initiative, technical ability, and leadership can take on additional responsibilities and training opportunities.
