When you stand at the Farfar’s counter, you see the college banners from all the schools our employees have attended. We’re very proud of everyone who’s been part of our family and amazed by where they’ve gone from here.

We receive many questions about working at Farfar’s. So here’s the scoop…

In the Spring: Before we start hiring, we see how many employees from the previous year are returning. Most of our team returns, so often we don’t have many openings in the spring, but there are usually a few.

When we do have openings, we hire responsible, self-motivated, young adults who are 16 years or older. We hire scoopers who are available to work a flexible schedule over the summer and 2-3 days a week in the fall, until we close in December. (Unfortunately, students who play fall sports usually don’t have enough availability.)

During the season: Individuals interested in working at Farfar’s should come to the shop when we are open and ask if a manager is on duty. If there is a manager on duty, they will provide available hiring information. If there isn’t a manager on duty, the staff will let you know the best time to check back. (As a policy, we do not have any hiring conversations with parents of potential employees.)
