Job description
Husky Meadows is looking for an assistant farm manager to join our farm crew for 2023. We are a 2-acre diverse vegetable farm nestled among hills and forest in Norfolk, CT.

Our season runs from March through October. Our schedule is mostly Tuesday – Saturday from 7 to 4. We will have a team of three or four people including the head farmer, Brett.
The assistant manager should have at least one year of experience on a similar operation. We are a dynamic company with room for growth.
Pay is competitive plus plenty of vegetables, and flowers from the farm! Please reach out with any questions.
