We are seeking an Lead Farm Associate to lead the day-to-day operation of an assigned company-owned farm. This role owns farm execution and outcomes, including egg production, egg quality, animal welfare, compliance, biosecurity, pasture management, and facility readiness. The Farm Lead sets priorities, leads problem-solving, and works alongside the Farm Associate to share the farm workload evenly while ensuring work is completed safely, accurately, and on time.

What You'll Do:

  • Lead the resolution of farm issues identified through routine work or visits by Farm Support, documenting corrective actions and verifying that the issue remains resolved.
  • Own corrective action for findings identified by Compliance or during audits, working with the appropriate partners to restore compliance, document the resolution, and prevent recurrence.
  • Work cross-functionally with the internal veterinarian, internal nutritionist, Farm Support team, and Director of Live Production to diagnose technical challenges, determine an appropriate course of action, and implement solutions.
  • Keep the Accelerator Farm Supervisor informed of material operational risks, staffing concerns, incidents, and barriers to execution.
  • Maintain audit readiness and represent the assigned barns during audits and compliance visits.
  • Ensure proper egg collection, mortality removal, feed ordering, supply availability, required testing, and completion of all farm paperwork and protocols.
  • Enter accurate data into UNITAS and submit required paperwork on schedule; use farm data to identify trends and drive improvement.
  • Monitor pasture conditions, predation, biodiversity, and species counts; lead paddock rotation, pasture care, auxiliary livestock care, pest control, fence maintenance, and site security.
  • Assist with required testing and monitoring, including manure testing, swabbing, and bloodwork.
  • Perform euthanasia when needed in accordance with American Veterinary Medical Association guidelines.
  • Respond to barn alarms, utility interruptions, technology failures, and other urgent farm needs, including nights, weekends, and holidays as scheduled.

  • Ability to manage multiple, time sensitive, priorities and deadlines
  • Sound judgment and creative problem-solving ability, including knowing when and how to engage technical or people-support partners.
