Arcadia Farm Manager
We seek a dynamic and experienced Farm Manager to oversee our farm and train our small crew of beginning veteran farmers (Farm Fellows), leveraging the experiential learning opportunities that abound from the tasks of managing a busy farm. The farm site includes 2 acres of intensively managed vegetable fields, a half-acre fruit orchard, and a 1.5-acre Veteran Farm Incubator Program for up to 10 military veteran graduates of our training program. The Farm Manager mentors and builds the skills of the Farm Fellows and other site participants, oversees a diverse farm operation, and engages with other Arcadia staff and partners. A strong candidate will be excited about a blend of time in the field farming, teaching and coaching trainees during the season and behind-the-scenes responsibilities for farm planning and oversight. The Farm Manager will be able to access support from other farmers in the region who are familiar with our organization and farm site as they establish themselves in this role and for continued professional development.
