We are in 3 locations: Exeter, RI, Johnston, RI & Preston, CT

Would you like to join a team of fun, friendly, and hardworking people? We hire 150+ seasonal team members and volunteers each spring. Do you have what it takes to join the Tulip Team?
  • Are you positive, friendly and outgoing?
  • Do you enjoy spending time outdoors and don't mind working on your feet?
  • Do you enjoy talking to and helping people?
  • Do you have regular availability in early/mid April - late May?
  • Do you want to spend your work days among thousands of smiling, happy people?

If you answered yes to these questions, you could make a great fit for our Tulip Team! We will be open to the public 7 days/week from 10:00am-7:00pm.

Shifts fall between the hours of 9:30am and 7:30pm. Some “early bird” shifts also available. No farm experience is necessary. Customer Service experience is a plus.  We do require you to have a great attitude, be a team player, and be willing to learn.

 Want to become a year round "core" employee?

We are expanding and are looking to strengthen our "core" Wicked Tulips team. These positions are part time, paid on an hourly basis, based on experience and position. We are looking for:

  • Experienced tractor driver(s) for both our Exeter & Preston locations
  • General farm laborer 

Volunteering (application required)

Not interested in a paid position, but would like to work at the happiest place in Rhode Island & Connecticut? Volunteering might be for you. We ask that volunteers commit to at least 2 shifts per week; as a small business, it is difficult for us to train one-time volunteers.

As a volunteer you receive one Tulip Team t-shirt and 10 u-pick tulips and other tulip benefits. If you work 40 or more hours, we will make a monetary donation, in your name, to a charity of your choice.
