The applicant should be able to oversee all aspects of organic vegetable production such as: soils management, equipment management, pest and disease management, post-harvest handling, hiring, and managing a crew. Experience with livestock is beneficial but not mandatory.

The ideal candidate is a professional grower with a deep knowledge of organic techniques and at least four years of management experience in organic farming.  We will support the grower with in-house marketing and book keeping.

Inglewood is a 3500 acre family farm listed with the National Trust for Historic Places.  It is located on the outskirts of Alexandria, Louisiana in the heart of Central Louisiana’s Red River Delta.  The farm includes historic buildings, a thousand acre nature preserve, generous water resources, and deep rich soil.

Housing is a small two bedroom, one bath, newly renovated antebellum cottage, with a new bathroom and kitchen, a fireplace, and central air and heat.

As Inglewood transitions to a fully sustainable farm, they will raise crops, livestock, and eggs in such a way as to enhance the long term productivity of their soil; the economic productivity of the land; the health of the surrounding ecosystem; the environment of the planet; the healthful benefits of our crops; the professional development of our employees; and the taste of their food.  They seek a manager who shares their vision.
