Ralston Farm, LLC
is a small farm growing on 2 acres of rented land in Mendham, NJ. We
produce for a 55-member CSA, a few local restaurants and our summer
farm stand.
We are looking for someone to help expand and manage our livestock operation, beginning September 2012.
Applicants
should be fit, able to work independently, and have previous experience
working full seasons on small-scale farms. The livestock manager will
be responsible for raising 2-3 new flocks of chickens and 8-10 new pigs,
building new mobile housing, fencing and other livestock
infrastructure-related tasks.
We currently pasture and woodland
raise chickens and pigs on a very small scale - this position is an
opportunity to help us expand production and provide more diverse
sources of protein for our CSA and other customers.
A modest
weekly stipend and unlimited produce will be provided. Work will be
full-time during September-October and part-time over the winter
months. This position is ideal for a young person from or living in the
Morris County, NJ area.
