Company Background/Culture
Gold Leaf is a farming company whose core focus is to build farms, family, and a future we’re proud of. We own and operate ~12,000 acres of almonds, pistachios, and dates in California and Arizona, making us a top ~15 grower of these crops globally. Our growth has been enabled by ~$300M of investment from our partners and our 60-person team that operates the farms every day.
Our North Star is to leave the world better than we found it. We have a significant opportunity to do well by doing good - we invest in our team, so that we can invest in differentiated, sustainable farming, so that we can drive financial results. Our farm workers have a $23 starting wage in California, fully paid healthcare, retirement, and parental leave. Our farms use technology and incorporate research-based strategies to maximize production and profitability while minimizing the use of precious natural resources.
Over time, we’ll continue to grow our farms under management, acreage, and team. We hold traditional farming values in high regard: taking pride in quality operations, buying and holding prime farms with a long-term view (everything we buy we’d be happy to own forever), and staying grounded in our values: being candid, putting family first, acting like owners and leading by example.

Role Overview
The Farm Manager is a key leader on the Operations Team who is responsible for the overall operations of the farms. Strategic planning and managing farm budgets for each GLF farm is an important part of the Farm Manager’s responsibility. Our Farm Managers develop and execute budgets for each crop they grow and harvest - both organic and conventional. The work done by a Farm Manager should aim to optimize yields and foster the performance of our orchards in future years while prioritizing careful use of resources and a budget. All the above is translated into annual cash flow, which is the core metric in their performance. The Farm Manager is also a people leader who oversees and is responsible for the performance and development of a team of Foremen and Farm Operators as well as the overall culture of the farms. The Farm Manager generally splits their time evenly between working at the farms and working in the office, while allowing for flexibility for more time in either area based on the needs of the team they lead, activities happening at the farms, and work coming due in a given week. This Farm Manager Role in particular, is responsible for managing ~4,000 acres of pistachios in Kingman, Arizona.
