Job Overview
We are seeking a hands-on Farmer/Land Steward to support daily farm operations and land stewardship projects at TAMAMURI. This is a physically active role for someone who enjoys working outdoors, takes pride in doing things well, and brings curiosity, attention to detail, and a willingness to observe, learn, and adapt within a diverse working farm in a beautiful 4,000 elevation high-desert landscape.
The role is primarily focused on food production, land stewardship, and maintaining high standards across our farm and growing systems.
As TAMAMURI's educational and hospitality programs come online, the farm will also become an important part of the campus experience. Culinary staff will regularly engage with what we're growing, and guests may visit and explore the farm.
