Description
Things are drying up nicely and we are excited to get started on our ambitious farming project! Last season we organized a group of 15 volunteers, got some donated land, and grew over 5000 lbs of food ecologically, which we then donated to Barrie area food banks. This season we are going for 20,000 lbs donated, including some grass fed beef! This is all on top of what we need to sell at market!
Position Overview:
We are looking for an energetic farmer to get involved in the operation who could bring some management and planning experience. Some experience working with youth would be helpful as we will be taking on paid apprentices as well as volunteers.
Compensation: We are offering a 2-year salary with year-round work as we are setting up a number of greenhouses to run through the winter. We are also offering some ownership in the farm and are looking for someone who could build a life in this area. We would need you to move to the Barrie area and a class F licence would be helpful.
