About this job

The Vegetable Production Manager is an Enterprise Manager position responsible for day-to-day leadership of our diverse vegetable enterprise, managing an approximately $100k annual budget. This is a highly hands-on position - expect to spend approximately 90% of your time working directly in the fields, greenhouses, and wash/pack facilities alongside your crew of 1-3 seasonal growers. Vegetable production spaces are located in the central hub of our farm, in close proximity to educational programming and our farm store. This position is dynamic and social, including daily interactions with kids, educators, farm store staff, and customers. This position reports to the Land Director as part of the Enterprise Management team (Animals Manager, Markets Managers, Education Managers). The Veg Manager partners closely with the Markets Manager to coordinate crop timing, harvest schedules, and distribution, leading crop decisions while the Markets Manager provides input on sales trends and quantities. We seek a self-directed, experienced grower ready to hit the ground running. Our current Veg Manager will support your transition weeks. Initial onboarding focuses on learning our specific land, markets, systems, and culture - and what our veg production has entailed in recent years and what our vision is for future years. The ideal candidate proactively seeks support from the farm team and fills knowledge gaps through independent learning (reading, workshops, farm visits, videos/podcasts, expert consultation). While collaboration and support are available, we need someone comfortable making decisions and taking initiative with appropriate but not constant oversight. Success in this role means: managing to budget, meeting production goals with high-quality crops, leading in our dynamic team environment, and collaborating in advancing the land team vision including agroforestry systems.
