The Farm Manager is responsible for implementing the farm and rural living aspects of DeVries Nature Conservancy. This involves implementing historical farming practices and interpretive/educational programs to promote an understanding of historical agricultural and rural living practices. (Time period focus is on the transition between horsepower and gas-powered farm equipment.) DNC’s historical farm and rural living program is new and we are looking for someone with a vision that fits within our strategic plan, but allows for flexibility in how the program develops. The farm manager should have experience in historical agricultural practices in at least one area (row crops, livestock, building/barn maintenance, etc.) as well as a passion for historical rural living skills typical of the chosen time period and consistent with practices found in mid-Michigan.
Position is full time, salaried, with paid vacation, sick time, and matched IRA. The ideal candidate will be able to lift 50 pounds. On-site rental housing may be available. DeVries will conduct a background check during the hiring process. Wage: $35,000-$45,000 per year, commensurate with experience.
Salary: 35,000-45,000
