Spring Term Student Farm Manager, Dartmouth Organic Farm
Ready to work in a greenhouse, plant seeds, help plan crops for the year, eat delicious, local food, learn about sustainability and teach
other students through hands on learning? Seeking a student farm manager to support the day-to-day operations of the farm this
spring. The student farm manager will perform necessary work in production fields and two greenhouses. Day to day activities include seeding,
soil making, aquaponics systems maintenance, daily watering, building upkeep, permaculture maintenance, field preparation and more.
Additionally, the student farm manager will play a key role in coordinating and being a point of contact for student events & volunteers,
classes, farm researchers, and visitors. You will lead student volunteers and PE classes in farm work, help visitors connect with the farm program through tours, workdays, and running educational workshops. Finally your job will include supporting academic
& research uses of the farm. You will be responsible for fostering an inclusive and welcoming environment at the farm and will work alongside and guide co-interns and volunteers to accomplish farm goals.
If you are eager to learn about sustainability, integrated food and energy systems, organic vegetable production, bees, maple syrup,
aquaponics, soil and more, this is the position for you! Previous food and agriculture experience a plus, but not necessary. Enthusiasm is a must!
