This part-time contract position sounds like an interesting job for the right Midwesterner. See attached email that was posted on COMFOODJOBS.
If my internet search was correct, Corey Hillebo is based in Madrid, Iowa (north of Des Moines). However, no geographic requirement is listed on the job posting so it seems likely that the job can be done from anywhere in the Midwest.
Based on my limited knowledge, Aronia is native to the Midwest, a lovely small shrub with lovely berries and great fall foliage. Much aronia research has been done in eastern Europe and some is being done in Illinois. At least one Illinois farmer is selling aronia products into the Chicago area (Teresa Santiago, Evanston farmers market).
Sounds like a creative position.
