I have spent a majority of my life working in agriculture, with over 20 years of experience managing a farm on behalf of my employer. During this time, I’ve led a team of over 25 employees, overseeing the care and cultivation of more than 200 acres of land. My experience includes planning and executing planting and harvesting schedules, as well as maintaining the land. I’ve worked with a wide variety of crops, including strawberries, blueberries, tomatoes, raspberries, blackberries, grapes, corn, squash, lettuce, zucchini, and pumpkins, which were sold to farmers’ markets and large retail stores like Winco and Safeway.
My experience spans the entire agricultural process—from hiring workers and managing the supply chain for seeds and plant starts, to ensuring those products reach the final consumer. I’m also skilled in operating various types of farm machinery.
I am a motivated and dedicated individual, always eager to learn and perfect my craft. My goal is to transition from my current role as farm manager and start my own farming operation. I’m looking for land to lease or possibly purchase within the willamette valley.
water rights as well as electricity. Open to having any type of structure on the property as well but not a necessity, mainly to store farm equipment.
Managed a farm for 20 years that includes over 200 acres. Growing vegetables, berries, orchards, grain, and silage. Managed a seasonal team of over 25 employees. Planned out the planting and harvesting as well as land maintenance.
Get established within the local farmers markets selling produce from the land as well getting long term leases where blueberries and raspberry plants can be planted. Also build some capital to eventually purchase or lease more land.
Purchase some land where I can increase the size of the business. And hire farm help.
Do not currently need housing, but am open to opportunities that may arise. Preferably a house that is located on the agricultural property.
To ensure a safe and welcoming environment for people of diverse backgrounds on the land and in the community, I believe in fostering an inclusive, respectful, and open space for all. If you are a open-minded, and progressive individual who is passionate about farming and eager to contribute, and learn you will always be welcome here. My focus is on creating a community where diversity is celebrated, and everyone has the opportunity to thrive and succeed.
