About Working at Heeman’s Cellar:_**
- No two days are the same at Heeman’s Cellar, keeping things interesting and exciting. As a busy cidery, we have seasonal peaks (Fall) with high production turnover rates, and we are open year-round with many projects on the go. The environment in the cidery can be cold and wet and you’ll need to be comfortable going up and down ladders, standing for long periods of time and being capable of lifting up to 50lbs. You’ll need to be self-motivated and enjoy working with your hands in a fast-paced environment that could include working on your own. Heeman’s is proudly a family-owned and farm/agriculture-based business, and our employees are classified as agriculture employees under the ESA._
