Who We Are

Schloss Hollow Farms is a farm in Hampshire County, WV, owned by the Schlossnagle family. We’re building a new farm that feeds people, supports our on-site lodge, and cares for the land. Our goal is to establish a small hyper-diverse farm using methods that protect nature and reinforce healthy local ecosystems.

We’re now hiring a full-time Farm Manager to get us up and running, and grow as we expand.

What The Farm Will Do

As a small family-owned farm, we are focused on sustainable and diverse production of agriculture goods (we're not a one-crop facility).  We have ambitions to grow in four different directions at once:

• herbs/fruits/vegetables (primarily by greenhouse and including some uncommon species)
• working orchard with peach, apple, pecan, and potentially reviving the (hybrid) American chestnut
• flowers and other gardening horticulture
• small livestock (chickens for small-scale egg production, rabbits and goats for meat)

What You’ll Do

• Help plan an implementation for what this farm will do
• Build and manage our new greenhouse (3m x 20m, under construction)
• Start planting our orchard
• Establish our small livestock program and facilities
• Operate and keep in good shape our equipment: Kubota tractors, Rivian pickup, and tools (including welding gear)
• Manage deliveries, contractors, and supply orders
• Determine additional labor requirements and help hire part-time helpers.
• Supervise part-time helpers and keep things running smoothly
• Mow fields and trails, and help keep the grounds looking nice for guests

What You Should Know or Be Able to Do

• Grow vegetables, herbs, or fruit crops (greenhouse or orchard experience is a big plus)
• Run and do basic maintenance on tractors, loaders, and other small equipment
• Be organized and punctual—you’ll keep a visible daily to-do list and check things off as they get done
• Write and speak clearly: you’ll talk with the owner, vendors, helpers, and visitors almost every day
• Be strong enough to do outdoor work in all kinds of weather

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience with greenhouse setup or orchard planting
• Familiarity with rabbits, or other small livestock

What We’re Looking For in a Person

• Kind, honest, and respectful
• A doer—not just a planner—who’s ready to get their hands dirty
• Someone who believes in farming that helps the land, not harms it

Pay & Perks

• $28/hour, full-time
• Schedule flexibility
• Access to fresh farm food: veggies, eggs, herbs, and more
• A growing role as the farm and on-site lodge expand
