Job Description

Please note: This is an on-site position based in Pennington, New Jersey, USA. Applicants must currently be based in the United States and authorized to work in the U.S. Applicants residing outside the United States will not be considered.

63-Acre Established USDA Certified Organic Farm | Vegetables & Dryland Rice.

Blue Moon Acres is seeking an experienced farmer to lead operations on our 63-acre USDA Certified Organic farm, in continuous operation for 35 years.

This is a senior, hands-on management position with substantial responsibility for the farm: crop planning, field operations, soil fertility, planting through harvest, equipment, managing crews, organic and food safety record management and compliance, and continuous improvement of our production systems.

But we’re looking for more than an excellent farm operator.

Our larger goal is to explore how healthy we can make the plants we grow—and how nutrient-rich and flavorful the resulting food can become.

We are particularly interested in the relationships among soil health, mineral nutrition, soil biology, plant physiology, nutrient density, and resistance to disease and insect pressure.

The right person does not need to be an expert in all of these areas. We are looking for an experienced farmer who is curious, observant, open-minded, and empirical—someone interested in working closely with ownership to evaluate new ideas, conduct practical on-farm trials, measure results, and incorporate what works into a successful commercial farming system.

We’re looking for someone who:

  • Has 5+ years of commercial farming experience, preferably in organic vegetable production, including management responsibility.
  • Can confidently manage crops, crews, equipment, schedules, and day-to-day farm operations.
  • Can work physically in all weather conditions, lift 50+ lbs., operate tractors, forklift, and other farm machinery.
  • Has a strong understanding of soils, fertility, and plant nutrition.
  • Enjoys solving problems and continually improving production systems.
  • Is interested in biological and regenerative agriculture without being dogmatic about any particular approach.
  • Is willing to question assumptions, experiment, measure results, and change course when the evidence warrants it.
  • Spanish fluency is a plus.
  • Wants substantial responsibility and the opportunity to make a long-term impact on an established farm.
  • Start date flexible.

Experience growing rice is welcome but not required.

We offer a comprehensive benefits package including vacation, sick, and holiday pay; a savings plan with employer contribution; and health insurance.

Location: 11 Willow Creek Dr, Pennington, NJ 08534.

If you’re an experienced farmer who finds the question, “How do we grow a truly healthy plant? "As interesting as we are, we’d like to hear from you.

Please send a résumé and a brief introduction describing your farming background, your approach to soil and plant health, and why this opportunity interests you.
