Description

While every farm structures its labor force differently, employee management is challenging for almost all farm managers. Conversations around pay, benefits, work hours, and expectations are often avoided when discussing farm employment because they can be awkward and difficult, especially as farm managers serve as HR in addition to farm production responsibilities. As Wild Hope Farm’s business grew, its labor structure underwent many iterations, from apprenticeships to salaried workers to a mix of domestic & H-2A employees. Katherine invites you to join a productive conversation about the successes and failures of building career farmers, offer your insights, and share your experiences around labor and employee management.
