YOUNGSTOWN — Joseph Badger Meadows, an underutilized Presbyterian USA camp and conference center in northeast Ohio, is looking for an on-site camp coordinator. The rural location is 30 minutes north of Youngstown, Ohio.
The coordinator will live rent- and utility-free in a three-bedroom house and with full access to turn 12 acres into a farming/grazing operation. Well access for irrigation and use of outbuildings and some implements are negotiable.
In exchange for these housing, land and infrastructure benefits, this site coordinator will work 5-15 hours a week overseeing and administering camp functions.
Hiring
Goodness Grows, a well-established and well-networked agricultural non-profit committed to seeing individuals and communities thrive through regenerative agriculture, will help in selection of the coordinator(s) and will provide educational and marketing support.
Besides being able to establish a successful market farming operation from the ground up, the candidate(s) must be open to the mutually benefiting overlay of ecological and agricultural education and social outreach programs in the region.
Contact
Well-focused social entrepreneurs with successful farming experience (preferably with a natural systems orientation) are encouraged to apply. Direct inquiries by March 26 to Steve Fortenberry at Goodness Grows at steve.fortenberry@gmail.com.
