Job DescriptionDescription: The Glynwood Center for Regional Food and Farming is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. Overview For more than 25 years, the Glynwood Center for Regional Food and Farming has been dedicated to strengthening the food system in New York’s Hudson Valley while serving as a model for equitable food system revitalization across the country. Our mission is to cultivate just and resilient food systems so that farmers, land, and communities thrive. Glynwood’s 225-acre campus in Cold Spring is home to a 160-acre rotationally grazed, Animal Welfare Approved by A Greener World, multi-species livestock operation, a seven-acre highly diverse, USDA certified organic vegetable operation and our administrative offices. Our farm team employs six year-round farmers and six seasonal apprentices. We raise sheep, beef cattle, broilers, laying hens, pigs, and turkeys across our open pastures and grow more than 90 vegetable, flower and herb varieties. The livestock operation at Glynwood exists to produce food and train farmers in a way that is regenerative for both the land and the people stewarding it. We are committed to farming practices that prioritize animal welfare, improve soil health, increase pasture diversity, and enhance climate resilience, while cultivating a work culture that promotes the health, well-being, and long-term viability of the farmers who carry out this work. In alignment with Glynwood’s commitment to positive, collaborative team dynamics, we recognize that resilient food systems depend on resilient people. As an organization, we believe that Glynwood has a role to play in addressing racism and inequity in our country’s food system, and commit ourselves to advancing diversity, equity, inclusion, and access in our organization, and in all of our work. We are committed to proactive learning, orienting ourselves towards healing racism and oppression, and expanding spaces for those who have not been historically included. Job Summary The Assistant Livestock Manager actively works across all aspects of Glynwood's livestock operation, taking daily direction from the Livestock Manager and collaborating closely with the rest of the Livestock team. Responsibilities include helping guide and supervise Livestock Apprentices in their day-to-day tasks as well as daily chores related to pasture management, fencing, and animal care for Glynwood's rotationally-grazed sheep, cattle, poultry, pigs, and livestock guardian dogs. We are looking for a candidate that embodies our organizational working values of compassion, collaboration, stewardship, risk-taking, and adaptability— someone who prioritizes animal welfare, works well as part of a close-knit farm team, and is willing to learn and problem-solve in a hands-on, outdoor environment. This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to grow their career in livestock management. The Assistant Livestock Manager will receive ongoing mentorship and training from the Livestock Manager and Farm Director, with opportunities for professional growth within the Farm team as skills and experience develop.
