Position Summary

Do you enjoy bringing order to many moving parts, working with people, and seeing the practical results of your work each day?

The Grain & Community Operations Lead keeps Honoré Farm and Mill’s daily operations moving—from receiving grain and fulfilling orders to managing inventory, coordinating deliveries, running farmers market operations, and supporting community events.
