Our main enterprises are a Market Garden, Pastured Chickens, Micro-greens and Pastured Eggs at this time and we are ready to start grazing larger animals as soon as we find the right person/fit to move forward on that part of our farm

Here are some part-time or what can be a few full-time positions that we are hiring for. We are looking for a win-win fit and are willing to co-create the structure for that outcome.

Farm Manager

We provide:
Land, Facilities, infrastructure, business models, mentorship and more in a grow and learning environment as well as living quarters if needed.

You provide:
Critical Thinking skills, Kindness and a consistent work ethic with a positive attitude. If you have an RV, or something that you want to bring/place to live in, we have a bit of space to accommodate.

Some details on the type “you” we are looking for:
– positive attitude
– enjoy working outside, getting dirty, physical tasks while observing
– Meticulous record keeping
– process improvement minded
– demonstrated history of learning and growing
– demonstrated history of collaboration
– a proactive communicator
– experience and openness in using technology tools and processes that help improve our soil and ability to bring our farm products and experiences to market in a sustainable way (from earth, community and finance perspectives)

This position is not for you if:
– You check in at 9:01 and depart at 4:59 and 59 seconds from your 9 to 5 job and are more focused on time, versus outcome.
– You love dreaming about farm work, and think you’d like to put it on your instagram is the 1st thought that comes to mind about this job and it would be “cool” and help you get more followers. (It might do that – just if that is your driving force, you might well fail at this job)
– seeing plants and animals die deeply disturbs you. On our farm, and all that I know – things are born, grow and die.

We have a few positions opening up in 2024 based onsite Dufur, Oregon.

Compensation is based on experience and your commitment to outcomes. We are open to profit-sharing or lease arrangements as well if you want some support, but want to do it on your own.
We do have on farm accommodation that can be a part of this position if you don’t live nearby. Most positions are from April through Thanksgiving though we do have 1 onsite winter position starting soon if that suites you and is win-win.

If you are entrepreneurial and want to try a new enterprise on our farm that is regenerative oriented, apply/reach out with your idea/plan.
