Friske’s is more than a farm market — we’re a destination. Nestled in the beauty of northern Michigan, we bring together agriculture, hospitality, and elevated food experiences. Our brand new full service coffee bar is an extension of that vision: thoughtfully crafted beverages, locally inspired offerings, and warm, genuine service.

• Learn and share knowledge about our farm products, local ingredients, and market offerings
• Support daily operations including: using the point of sale to ensure an efficient and accurate check-out experience for all guests, opening/closing tasks, restocking, and food prep
• Work collaboratively with market and kitchen staff to ensure a seamless guest experience

What We’re Looking For

• Previous barista or café experience preferred, but not required—we’re happy to train the right person
• Passion for coffee, food, and hospitality
• Strong communication skills and a positive, team-oriented attitude
• Ability to work in a fast-paced, guest-facing environment
• Interest in local agriculture, seasonal products, and agritourism is a plus
• Availability to work weekends and peak seasonal periods

What We Offer

• A beautiful, inspiring workplace in northern Michigan
• A supportive team environment rooted in community and quality
• Opportunities to learn about coffee, local food systems, and hospitality
• Competitive pay + tips
• Employee discounts on market goods and café offerings

If you enjoy connecting with people, take pride in crafting highest quality coffee drinks, and want to be part of something special, we’d love to meet you.
