Key responsibilities:
Fertility and soil health
â Design and document SOPs for compost, compost teas, animal manures, green manures, cover crops, mulching, and other on-farm fertility sources.
â Plan crop rotations and intercrops that build soil rather than mine it.
â Arrange and interpret soil tests; keep simple records of organic matter, structure, and input use.
â Train and supervise farm workers on these practices.
Pest, disease and weed management (regenerative / agroecological)
â Write and implement SOPs for scouting, thresholds, and non-chemical control (habitat for beneficial insects, traps, botanicals such as neem, ash, intercropping, sanitation, resistant varieties).
â Keep spray/application logs only for approved biological or botanical products.
â Reduce pest pressure through diversity, timing, and field hygiene rather than calendar spraying.
Production planning for markets and veggie boxes
â Build a seasonal crop plan and planting calendar so harvests match farmers' market days and weekly box contents.
â Forecast volumes, stagger plantings, and manage succession so boxes stay full and varied.
â Coordinate harvest, grading, packing, and cold-chain or same-day delivery.
â Track what sells, what wastes, and adjust the plan each season.
