Job Description

We are looking for a full time farm manager who will turn our small homestead (10 acres) into a productive farm. We need someone who is able and willing to run multiple areas of the farm and mostly start it from scratch. Their is infrastructure here but some is a bit run down and will need repaired. The goal is to provide food for three families. We all run our own business and would like healthy home grown food for our families. We need someone who is self motivated and directed. I have a vision for what the farm can produce but will work collaboratively with you on the direction and focus as this is built up. Additional duties would include general ground maintenance and landscaping. I am willing to invest in additional infrastructure as needed. The ideal candidate will have farm experience in both managing different species of animals and growing vegetables. Additionally would be capable of running small equipment and be a decent rough carpenter for building things such as chicken tractors and maintaining / rebuilding fencing. Once the farm is up and running as additional compensation you would be entitled to a portion of food surplus. We can also discuss the development of cash farm businesses which you could participate in. This will be a multiyear / long term project and so would be looking for someone who would be interested in this position for the long term.
