Weekend Operations Manager Jobs in Kentucky (NOW HIRING)

The Operations Manager is a senior leadership role that serves as the operational backbone of Foxhollow Farm. This person integrates mission with execution, ensuring the farm's business, financial, and administrative systems are efficient, scalable, and aligned with our regenerative values.

Reporting directly to our 4th Generation Steward, the Operations Manager will serve as a key cross functional connector between farm operations, business performance, marketing/events, and leadership.

This is a high impact, high autonomy position best suited to a purpose driven leader who is energized by the challenge of building a replicable, modern farm business model from the ground up. This is more than an operations role; it is an opportunity to help shape the future of regenerative agriculture by building modern, efficient systems that honor both the land and the people who depend on it.
