Mansfield Heritage Farm Organic Farm Manager Job Vacancy in Canada

Position: Organic Farm Manager
Type: self-employment with accom. (see below)
Organization: Mansfield Heritage Farm http://www.mansfieldheritagefarm.ca
Location: Mansfield, Ontario

Have you ever thought you would like to run an organic vegetable farm?

This is a business opportunity for the season of 2015. The organic
garden is about one and a half acres and serves a Farmers’ Market
(Collingwood) on Saturday morning and supplies vegetables and eggs to
about 55 customers. (This could be increased). The farm has a separate
building which has a bedroom with two single beds and a bathroom.
There is a commercial kitchen adjacent where meals can be made and
vegetables prepared for market. Cooking classes can also be part of
the program.


Two people with occasional help and a co-op student can run this
operation. The applicant should be prepared to run the farm, make
decisions, and pay the bills. In return, he or she will assume the
income. Expected income is about $18,000 net for 5 months and the
assistant could expect half this amount. It is possible to contract
with occasional workers through the Wwoofer program.

In the 2014 season, the planting began late March and the garden will
close after Thanksgiving. It would be helpful to connect with the
present farm manager before the end of October to learn about the
quality of the soil, planting plan etc.

We have the opportunity to raise meat chickens, pigs, egg laying
chickens and turkeys. The numbers of animals will depend on the
decision of the applicant.

Rental of the farm is $5000 which will cover the utilities.
