Job Opening: Market Manager
About Philo Ridge Farm
Philo Ridge Farm is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) working demonstration farm located in Vermont’s Champlain Valley. Using innovative and ecologically sustainable practices, we steward over 500 acres of pastureland, forests, and diversified produce gardens. We rotationally graze heritage breed livestock and cultivate certified organic fruits, vegetables, and flowers. Our mission is to promote organic regenerative agriculture through hands-on research, education, and community engagement. As a nonprofit living laboratory, we provide farmers, students, and the public with opportunities to explore sustainable farming practices. Through educational initiatives and collaborative partnerships, we seek to deepen our understanding of food systems, environmental stewardship, and the essential role of agriculture in building resilient, healthy communities.
Market Inspiration
PRF’s Market is inspired by the life and work of our founder, Diana McCargo, an exceptional home-chef, experienced organic gardener, and artful designer of curated experiences and spaces. Influenced by the argi-turismos of Europe and the luminaries of the farm-to-table movement—Chez Panisse, Lost Kitchen, Blackberry Farm, Ballymaloe House, River Cottage, and others—Diana is driven by Vermont’s seasonal changes and a foundational belief in fresh, local, simple, and delicious food. Experiencing this connection between food, land, and place is a unique and defining attribute of our operation. For many guests who come to the Farm, that experience begins in our Market. Positioned at the heart of our campus, the Market is the entry point to our hospitality program and where the community engages first with the Farm. It’s the place where we share our own products and those of regional artisans and where we celebrate the story of local food systems. We stock our shelves and cases with ingredients, equipment and resources that inspire us to cook, think, and connect. The PRF Market is a fundamental component of helping PRF achieve its mission in supporting regenerative farming, research, education, and community engagement.
Position Overview
Philo Ridge Farm is looking for a charismatic, creative, energetic and entrepreneurial Market Manager to lead our Market operations. In collaboration with Diana and the Director of F&B, the Market Manager will set the strategic direction of the Market and oversee all aspects of Market operations—including purchasing, merchandising, community engagement, staffing, training, and financial performance. The ideal candidate is a curious, hands-on, and creative problem solver with a keen design aesthetic, a detailed operator’s mindset, and the drive to take ownership of the Market as a retail store, community gathering space, and entry door to the farm. Success in this role will manifest in an aesthetically pleasing, thoughtfully merchandised, well managed, and welcoming Market operation. The Market Manager will report directly to the Director of F&B and collaborate with the Meat & Butchery Manager, the FOH Manager, and owner Diana McCargo.
