The farm currently consists of 4 tunnels where they are growing lettuce hydroponically (deep water culture) as well as a field of approximately 15,000 Parisian Black fig trees.
They are looking for an individual or potentially a couple to take responsibility of overseeing and managing the overall growing and production operations.
This would include the entire production process from germination through to crop management, harvesting, processing and packaging.
The successful candidate would need to be hands-on and dynamic with the ability to manage more than just the day-to-day growing requirements.
They would prefer someone who is bilingual but this is not a deal breaker if the person is a right fit. Experience with hydroponics/DWC would be preferred
They would also like this person to have some kind of experience in animal husbandry.
They would also be responsible for overseeing the farm's water systems, general operational systems and other essential aspects of the daily running of the farm. Accommodation & Vehicle will be provided as part of the employment package.
They are looking at expanding their operation so there will be a lot of room for growth.
Ideally they are looking for someone with an agricultural background, practical growing experience, good management capabilities and the ability to take ownership of the farm's overall production and operations
