Josh Bryceson, our farm manager since 2005 has purchased his own farm! We are celebrating Josh's ability to accomplish his dream and we are sad to see him move away from us. We have begun our search for a new farm manager and we plan to have one hired in the late fall, so that our next season will go smoothly. Josh will assist in training our new farm manager. Please pass this information on to anyone you know who may be interested. Position Announcement - Farm Manager for Big River Farms.pdf
