Mountain Roots Food Project is a local food systems initiative in the beautiful Rocky Mountain community of Gunnison-Crested Butte, Colorado. At Mountain Roots we have a newly established community farm (2 years old) and manage six community /school gardens.

We are seeking a full time Farm & Gardens Manager to start in 2019 and help take our programs to the next level.

This is a perfect role for someone who has been an apprentice or assistant under an older farm manager for a couple of years and feels ready to step into a management and leadership role. The ideal candidate has enough experience to confidently manage a start-to-finish growing season for 2 acres of crops and a pastured poultry project and teach/mentor new/emerging farmers in internships, apprenticeships, and entry-level community garden coordinator. The job description can be found on Indeed, our website, and Facebook.

Mountain Roots will be accepting applications through Wednesday Nov 21 for a mid-January start.
