Seeking Shepherd and community member

Headwaters Grazing is a multifaceted operation that includes grazing services, meat production, wool production and education. The work shifts seasonally and is generally flexible based on weather. The 2024 Shepherd position participates in all aspects of the flock work including fence building, herding, lambing, veterinary care, slaughter and butcher, shearing days, and community engagement. Areas of interest that the Shepherd has can be integrated into the work, with room for development of new skills. This position may have involvement in value added products created from the products of the flock, with sales and marketing roles as well. 

Headwaters is a part of the Golden Rule Community, a non-profit organization whose mission is to serve our surrounding communities with food access, stewardship to the land, and education and outreach. This is a member run community and there are several other agricultural operations located here. We operate a community dining hall where meals are prepared and shared several times a week, and any employee would be welcome to participate in the broader community at Ridgewood Ranch!
