Company description
Agmenity designs, installs and manages agricultural amenities and community farms for homeowners’ associations, developers, and other clients. Our interactive and community focused “agmenities” foster resident relationships and neighborhood engagement.
We are looking for team members who consider farming and educating a career, and who believe deeply in the power of small-scale, sustainable farming and connecting people with their food. If you are a caring, passionate and committed human who cares about farming and looking to be part of a special team, then we would love to hear from you.
Job description
The Lead Farm Educator I (or II) is similar to a Farm Manager position found on other small farms and serves as a critical leadership role that is responsible for the holistic management of an agricultural amenity’s full scope of deliverables, including vegetable production, community programming, and team management.
Below is a general overview of the role but for the full job description please follow this link.
Agmenity’s leadership team works closely with this position to help support farm decision-making, weekly operations, stakeholder relationships, and overall management needs in order to foster the project’s and team’s collective success as well as to ensure a macro alignment with the company’s vision and philosophy. That said, the Lead Farm Educator is directly responsible for the day-to-day operations of the farm and works alongside a team of Farm Educators to curate a beautiful and productive agricultural space. This position is a highly physical, hands-on farming job with a significant portion of each day working in the fields in addition to office related duties.
Additionally, farming requires a wide range of specific skill sets, however, it does not typically necessitate the level of interpersonal skills that being a Lead Farm Educator involves. This position will have significant public facing experiences through day-to-day interactions with farm visitors as well as formal tours, classes, and other special events.
