Development Manager – Full Time

One of the things we have all come become grateful for in the last two years is the ability to spend more time with family and those we love, even if that means taking risks or making life changes. Our Development Manager just made one of these tough life decisions, leaving a job she loved so she could move closer to family and loved ones. We are now searching for someone new to join our team.

Are you looking for a change? Are you passionate about supporting small family farmers and increasing access to local, healthy, food? Are you seeking an environment that allows work life balance? Are you interested in joining a team of regenerative farming enthusiasts? This might be the perfect job for you.

The Development Manager plays a critical role in our administrative team and is responsible for raising money and developing partnerships. The position is full time and involves identifying, soliciting, and stewarding current and prospective donors and maintaining strong community support and partnerships.
