NOW HIRING!
Riley's
Farm is now looking for living history interpreters to play the part of
minutemen, redcoats, Civil War Soldiers, tavern maids, admiralty court
judges, and county commissioners. Successful applicants will
become staff for our popular living history
field trip program.
This
is a great job for drama students seeking experience in improvisational
acting, and for anyone else who loves history.
We
provide appropriate historical clothing and training.
Experience is a plus but is not required! Job hours are weekdays,
from approximately 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM.
This
is not a full time position: field trips do not occur every weekday in
February and March. From April 1 through June 15th, field
trips occur nearly every weekday and then conclude for the
summer.
All
those interested should contact Jim
Riley.

P.S.
For the sake of those "web portals" constantly browsing the
internet to update their search engines, we include the following
boiler-plate. (Feel free to read this, if you're new to our site.)
Riley's Farm is a working apple orchard and living history farm in the Oak
Glen area of Southern California. In addition to farming, we love
history and we have provided a venue for re-enactment units comprising
many different eras. The farm regularly hosts banquets, birthday
parties, weddings, and office parties. Every year, literally thousands
of students participate in one of our school tours, where they
experience everything from weaving, candle-dipping, and cider pressing
to the drill and muster of a Revolutionary War or Civil War battle. Our
farm has appeared on the History Channel and in the recently released
feature film, Amistad, as well as many other film and television
productions. (We even try to get the producers to include us as on
screen talent, but that's another story.) On selected weekends
throughout the year, we offer "farm-stay" weekends, where
families can experience--clothing, wood stoves, muskets, and all--the
life of an 18th or 19th century American farmer. We grow sweet corn,
apples, raspberries, pears, and sunflowers, just to mention a few of our
crops. Our nephew, Devon, keeps some beautiful Belgian draft horses for
country hay-rides. We love America--its traditions, its people, its
history, and its cherished heritage of liberty in Christ. Have we said
enough? Well, one more thing: In the fall, thousands of families make an
annual pilgrimage to the farms of Oak Glen to experience the closest
thing to a New England fall California has to offer. Why don't you stop
by and say hello?
