</ul>
<ul>
<li>Systems Improvement: Evaluate existing farming systems and pinpoint opportunities for improved efficiency; execute certified organic and regenerative methods including strategic tillage use, tarping, rotational grazing, cover cropping, and pest exclusion techniques—adopting a practical rather than dogmatic philosophy</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Communication &amp; Collaboration: Maintain regular engagement with the Executive Director and leadership team to ensure coordination and alignment with the community-centered mission—success in this position depends on teamwork rather than isolated operation</li>
</ul>

</ul>
<ul>
<li>Production Management: Direct daily operations of a certified organic vegetable and seed production farm cultivating specialty crops; manage all facets including seeding, transplanting, irrigation, harvest, processing, and marketing</li>

</ul>
<ul>
