Position Description

We are looking for a highly motivated, detail-oriented and energetic person for this position of Farm Manager. The Farm Manager keeps our educational spaces thriving, safe, and ready for learning. This is a farming and facilities role: you grow produce in the educational fields and garden, care for our animals, and keep the physical site, tools, vehicles, drains, restrooms, supplies, pest control, in working order for the thousands of kids and visitors who move through it each year.

The fields exist to serve our programming and feed our community. Success is measured by maintaining a continuous variety of fruits and vegetables growing across the whole year, so that whenever a group walks into the fields there is something to taste, compare, harvest, plant, irrigate or demonstrate IPM and regenerative farming practices. You’ll plan a season of variety. You will train our educators in how to lead garden activities and collaborate with the education team on curriculum and increase their farming knowledge to then pass on that learning to youth through programming, so the garden and teaching stay connected.

Position Details

This is a 40 hour per week, full time, non-exempt position with paid vacation, sick time, and holidays. Salary $26.44-$28.85/hour, commensurate with experience. Medical, vision and dental benefits and retirement match are provided. In addition, the farm will provide produce, and fresh eggs as available.
