We are looking for a hands-on Farm Manager who can both work the land and write the playbook. You will design and run Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for soil fertility and pest/disease management, plan cropping so harvests match market and box demand, and keep day-to-day operations organised. Key responsibilities: Fertility and soil health ⁠Design and document SOPs for compost, compost teas, animal manures, green manures, cover crops, mulching, and other on-farm fertility sources. ⁠Plan crop rotations and intercrops that build soil rather than mine it. ⁠Arrange and interpret soil tests; keep simple records of organic matter, structure, and input use. ⁠Train and supervise farm workers on these practices. Pest, disease and weed management (regenerative / agroecological) ⁠Write and implement SOPs for scouting, thresholds, and non-chemical control (habitat for beneficial insects, traps, botanicals such as neem, ash, intercropping, sanitation, resistant varieties). ⁠Keep spray/application logs only for approved biological or botanical products. ⁠Reduce pest pressure through diversity, timing, and field hygiene rather than calendar spraying. Production planning for markets and veggie boxes ⁠Build a seasonal crop plan and planting calendar so harvests match farmers’ market days and weekly box contents. ⁠Forecast volumes, stagger plantings, and manage succession so boxes stay full and varied. ⁠Coordinate harvest, grading, packing, and cold-chain or same-day delivery. ⁠Track what sells, what wastes, and adjust the plan each season.
