Farm Team Leaders - Sharon , CT

Hiring a couple to join 8 member sustainable farm team.  Our farm is located in Sharon, Connecticut – just two hours north of New York city.  We have been in operation for 4 years and have learned a lot about what we believe in and what we are good at.   Our farm seeks to employ regenerative farming practices and currently raises on pasture 100% grass fed cattle, laying hens, broiler chickens, pigs and bees.    We also have planted a few thousand nut trees and two small fruit orchards.   It is our goal this year to reassess the mix of our animals and levels of production to evaluate our stewardship of our land in order to better determine what the best use of our land is in terms of soil health and producing quality, nutritious foods for our local community.  We are looking for a high energy couple that work well with a small team to help us achieve our next level of growth.  We want to focus on building a farm that optimizes our land to its highest and best use – focusing on soil health, the welfare of the animals and nutritious food. 

We are looking to round out an 8 member team.  We are hoping that one of the people applying for this position has poultry experience.  It is not a requirement for both people to have experience.   The role would have the following responsibilities that can be modified to fit the background and skills of the applicant.  Ultimately, we are looking for skilled, highly motivated, hardworking people.  The specific roles are easier to adjust then finding people with a passion for what we do.  Our proposed list of responsibilities include:

Team Responsibilities:  As a team, we all work to support all the livestock and other farm operations including: 

• Support Broiler, Layer, Cattle and Pig daily chores with team in season (current footprint);
• Monitoring the health of all animals;
• Support all sales and marketing activities, including attending farmers markets and delivering products to customers;
• Loading animals and driving to Slaughterhouse / cut sheets / pick up, delivery and storage of product;
• Support overall maintenance of farm structures, equipment and tools; and
• Support winter care of Cattle, Pigs and Layers (current/future footprint).

Direct Areas of Responsibilities:  We are hoping to round out our team skills with a person that has experience with poultry operations and no till, small scale crop production.   Specific responsibilities around this would include:  

• Be the team lead on operational aspects of poultry.  This would involve working with owners to determine quantity and timing of broilers, size of laying operation, 2020 business plan, ordering chicks and feed, developing pasture rotation plan, managing team performing weekly/daily chores (receiving new chicks, cleaning brooders, setting up new brooders, moving chicks to pasture, daily care, catching broilers for processing and driving to processing, moving egg mobiles, egg wash, fencing).  Manage staff of 2-3 team members assigned to broilers and layers including teaching standards for care of these enterprises and ensuring the standards are maintained. 
• Work with manager in charge of soil health to make recommendations to enhance soil as it relates to the poultry enterprise – optimal number of poultry, pasture management, cover crops and other soil amendments. 
• Evaluate the possibility of a small scale 2020 crop production plan.  Consider resources required, benefits of potential crop options, timing considerations, etc.  Also, work on a longer-term strategy for rotational crops on the farm taking into consideration the other Livestock and options for enhancing the quality of the soil.
• Support and participate with the team to redefine the strategy and mission of Q Farms.  Our focus will be on developing a mission that considers, at its’ core, the health of the soil.  We will address the fundamental environmental, nutritional and moral quandaries we face in raising and eating animals.  We will look to evaluate (and reevaluate continuously) the best uses of our land.   Consideration should be given to our ability to increase carbon sequestration; health of animals, increased rainfall absorption, microbial diversity, economic viability and all aspects of regenerative agriculture practices.  
• Supportefforts to develop plan for expanded value-added products and/or services such as bone broth, pet food, sausage making, butchery, etc.
• Other potential responsibilities, depending on experience, could include:  oversight of nut trees, oversight of fruit orchards, development of silvopasture and compost management.

Housing:  We have a large home that houses the farm team.  There is a separate living room, bathroom and bedroom for a couple to provide some level of privacy.  The kitchen is communal with 2-4 other people.  

Small Lake-side Fishing Resort Assistant Couple Required - Nimpo Lake, BC Canada

We own a small, seasonal fishing resort with 4 cabins and 4 camp sites. We are looking for a couple with a live-in RV to work with us this summer. We operate from May unti lthe end of September.  Work hours would vary, but would be part  time and would permit lots of free time, plus days off to explore the area. It is imperative that we find the "right fit" in order to have a good working relationship. 

The area is the West Chilcotin part of British Columbia. We are situated 300 km west of Williams Lake and about 250 km east of Bella Coola. The region is vast and varied in topography with everything from cattle grazing plains, to beautiful mountains and lakes, to the west coast rain forest. Recreation in the area includes hiking in the mountains, flight-seeing, boating, fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding, mountain biking, horse riding and wildlife viewing, including bears. There are rodeos on in the region through the summer. 

This beautiful region is rural, and there are not that many stores. The towns of Nimpo Lake and Anahim Lake are an equal distance from us, and each have general stores, gas pumps, cafes and post offices. Anahim Lake also has a small airport with service to Vancouver, an RCMP post, a school, a small library, and a medical clinic. The stores do not have a lot of variety, so trips to Williams Lake (to the east) or Bella Coola (to the west) are necessary to stock up, however most things can be sent on the freight truck. 

This has been a post-retirement career for us. We have owned and operated the resort for 10 years but it has been in operation as a resort for about 60 years. We have done a lot of renovations and infrastructure work as well as landscaping, and now find that we need some assitance as we get older. We would prefer a couple who could, at some point, take care of things without us, so that we could take a summer vacation. Although we, as a couple, work together on many of the projects and much of the work, there has been typical his & her areas that we each tend to and need help with. 

For season opening the following jobs need to be done: thorough cleaning of all cabins (walls, dishes, furniture, floors, exteriors, windows); restocking cabin supplies including fire wood; preparing all non motorized craft and motor boats for the rental season; cleaning up all outdoor areas, camp sites, gardens, lawns. Getting water turned back on to the cabins and camp sites. 

Regular weekly work includes: mowing lawns, weed whacking, weeding flower beds and pots, cleaning cabins, doing cabin laundry, painting as needed (usually the decks need redoing), cleaning the fish house, keeping up with firewood needs, taking garbage and recycling away and other small tasks. 

Experience with a chain saw is very useful but not essential. As well, any experience with small boat engines would be a plus. 

Applicants must be outgoing, friendly, polite with the guests and used to working outdoors in a rural environment. Summer temperatures are usually good, but we can also experience heat waves, forest fires or rain.... anything is possible when it comes to the weather.

We are looking for someone with a large RV to live in, since we do not have any other accommodations available except a very run-down old cabin with no indoor plumbing.  There are full hookups for the RV.  We have a camp shower that can be used if you do not have your own. Our helpers will be reimbursed for hours worked, but the amount will depend on experience and hours. The RV space, power and water will be provided plus fire wood. We have a large screened-in gazebo building that is like a communal living room. It has books, music, coffee, a fireplace, games and sofas. 

There is no cell service between Williams Lake and Bella Coola. We do have WIFI Internet, Satellite TV, and a land-line phone. 

All applicants will receive a reply. REFERENCES ARE ESSENTIAL.
