Hey Friends,

I wanted to send this cool job opening at a friend of mine's farm in Rhode Island. Ocean Hour Farm is a cool educational farm that does research and production demonstrations all surrounding the nexus of agriculture, land management, and ocean/aquatic health.  They are hiring an Animal Systems Manager.

Perhaps you know of someone who may be interested?

Ocean Hour Farm is one of the last remaining active farms on the south end of Aquidneck Island. The rugged and rolling coastal pastures and historic stone village provide a unique character to this 43.2 acre bucolic farm. Its mission is to serve as a center for education, scientific research, and demonstration of regenerative agricultural practices. The property is adjacent to the Narragansett Bay, making it an ideal location for highlighting the critical connection between land use and ocean health. The vision of the farm is to provide a living example of regenerative land stewardship – an integrated system where plants, animals, and people heal ecosystems while producing food and fiber for the community. 

Running the farm is truly a collaborative effort. All employees, no matter the department, participate in some capacity in carrying out educational programming, research activities, and whole systems design work for the farm. All roles will therefore require excellent organizational skills, the ability to collaborate with staff in other departments as well as a deep understanding of the land-to-sea connection.
