Seeking Operations Manager
Jordan Creek Freedom Farm Academy in NW ArkansasABOUT | Jordan Creek
The Richardsons purchased 17 acres of land in a valley just south of Lincoln, Arkansas in 2021. The first couple years included cleaning up some dumpsites and old fences on the property, installing a pond, remodeling a small cabin, building an outdoor kitchen, starting a garden and raising chickens and bees. As it now transitions to a Freedom Farm Academy in 2023 we will focus on adding a permaculture food forest, a demonstration and healing center, a supply center and so much more. We plan to become a place for people to experience first-hand what it looks like to grow and prepare food, care for our planet and feel great. These ideas will apply to homesteads, but more importantly to anyone with a yard or balcony and a desire to learn and be part of a like-minded community.
