Fishkill Farms is seeking an Orchard Manager to assist in the growing of 100+ acres of eco-certified tree fruit and organic berries in New York’s Hudson Valley. Crops include peaches, cherries, strawberries and over 60 acres of dessert and cider apples, grown primarily for Pick-Your-Own and artisan hard cider. Applicants should come with a background of horticultural, field and leadership experience, be equally comfortable with the hands-on as well as the administrative aspects of farming and be familiar with pest management in tree fruit. This is an exciting opportunity to work with an experienced team in a dynamic workplace, and to broaden one’s understanding of community-based farming at a rapidly growing agricultural enterprise!
