## Role description

The valley's only cider press runs through the apple harvest, and the hard cider pays the estate's winter wages. You work the great screw-press that makes it.

#### The work ##

- Load the cheese, turn the screw, draw off, and barrel.
- Keep the pressroom sweet and the flies losing.
- Work the rotation with a crew of four through the harvest.
- Mind the barrels — the hard cider pays the winter wages.

#### Context ##

- Reports to the press boss.
- Crews of four working in rotation through the apple harvest.
- Day-rates for the season, with a generous allowance of the product.
- In-person, dawn to dusk while the apples last.

_Recorded in the parish register of Sleepy Hollow, autumn of 1799._

## What they're looking for

- Strength and rhythm for press work in shifts.
- Careful with the barrels — the hard cider pays the winter wages.

Not a fit if the allowance of the product would become the point.

## About the organization

Seasonal arm of the Van Tassel estate: acre upon acre of pumpkins and the valley's only cider press.

#### Who we are ##

A skeleton crew of two off-season and thirty hands at the October peak. Harvest is our whole year — we press dawn to dusk and pay day-rates above any farm in the glen.

#### How we work ##

Six weeks of everything, then quiet. Crews work in rotation with a generous allowance of the product, and the last week of October is the week the whole year turns on. Losses to nocturnal pumpkin theft: recurring, unexplained, and budgeted for.

#### Who thrives here ##

Seasonal hands who can commit to the full run, frost to finish, and who would rather earn a year's margin in six weeks than a little every month.
