At Duncan Family Farms, we grow more than just organic produce—we grow innovation, efficiency, and future leaders. As a Post Harvest & Logistics Intern, you'll get a behind-the-scenes look at how fresh produce moves from the field to customers across the U.S., Canada, and the U.K.

  • Help coordinate communication between field, cooling, and logistics teams

  • Support inventory tracking and reconciliation

  • (Optional) Assist with forklift operations if trained and certified

  • Follow all food safety and workplace safety standards

What You'll Learn

  • Cold chain management (keeping produce fresh from start to finish )

  • Shipping, logistics, and supply chain operations

  • Inventory tracking and order systems

  • Audit documentation and traceability processes

  • Real-world communication across teams and partners

What We're Looking For

  • Currently studying (or recently graduated) in Supply Chain, Ag Business, Logistics, Business Admin, Accounting, or similar

  • Interest in operations, logistics, or agriculture

  • Strong work ethic and willingness to learn

  • Organized and detail-oriented

  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, hands-on environment

Requirements

  • Must be 18 years or older

  • Able to stand, walk, and bend for extended periods

  • Able to lift up to 35 lbs occasionally

  • Willing to work in outdoor conditions (heat up to 110°F and cold as low as 30°F)

Why You'll Love It Here

  • Hands-on experience in real agricultural operations

  • Learn how food gets from the farm to customers worldwide

  • Work with a team that values growth, teamwork, and innovation

  • Build skills that translate directly into supply chain and logistics careers
