Headquartered in Enfield, CT, Jarmoc Farms operates a complex, multi-entity business with approximately 35 full-time employees and 175 seasonal workers through the H-2A visa program.

This position is on-site five days in Endfield, CT.

·        A proactive, collaborative mindset and ability to anticipate needs.

·        Comfort working in a trust-based, family-run environment with a mix of structure and autonomy.
