About the role

Private Farm and Ranch seeks an Assistant Farm Manager for Annual Crops to lead intensive market-garden production and tractor-scale fields. The role blends hands-on fieldwork with leadership, driving crop plans, rotations, season extension, and harvest planning to deliver year-round, high-quality produce for private guests and partners. The position requires seven years in organic vegetable production, greenhouse propagation experience, and strong management skills.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
