What's New at Greensgrow?

Greensgrow is Hiring a Farming & Sustainability Manager

(2/1/2012)

Farming and Sustainability Manager

Description
The Farming and Sustainability Manager (FSM) is responsible for the planning, execution and maintenance of the Greensgrow demonstration farm and grounds, including but not limited to NFT hydroponics, container growing, raised beds, and high tunnel cultivation using IPM and intensive production methods . He/she is also responsible for all Greensgrow satellite growing farms insuring appropriate harvesting, planting and general care, including maintaining relationships with program partners and landowners where required.

The FSM is responsible for guiding Greensgrow's sustainability efforts through the development of new ideas and plans that will increase recycling efforts, reduce waste, minimize environmental impact, and decrease our reliance on outside energy sources. This will be done in conjunction with the Farm Manager and Director of Greensgrow Philadelphia Project, to include:
• Work with Farm Manager to select, order and oversee seeding of seasonal transplants for sale at Greensgrow Nursery.
• Work with Farm Manager to develop, schedule, and participate in farm workshops.
• Oversee development of a tour/visitor system that takes advantage of Greensgrow's existing self-guided tour, and also customize tours for specific groups.
• Assist with non-farming related tasks at the discretion of the Farm Manager, including but not limited to customer service, site maintenance, market set-up and take-down, volunteer management, and general farm duties.
• Work with Fresh Food Manager on a consolidated, safe, clean, and working composting program.
