Careers at Premier
Why work at Premier?
Not many firms can boast that their workforce includes 800 ewes, 40 chickens, 6 livestock guardian dogs, 2 horses, a gaggle of geese, and more goats than we’d care to admit. But, we can!
It matters because we field test our products to determine their strengths (and weaknesses) before we offer them to you. Traditional farmstores don’t do this.
If this sounds interesting, we invite you to join our team. You'll have an opportunity to work with like-minded people in a learning-friendly, family oriented environment. Read more about us here.
