Are you passionate about sharing your knowledge of citrus and fruit trees, organic practices, and building strong community connections? Want to work on a farm that’s growing vibrant, healing food and growing people? Join us at Conscious Ground, where we do things differently—with heart, integrity, and regeneration at the core.
About Us
Conscious Ground is a regenerative farm and learning centre in the Byron Hinterland. We’re committed to producing nutrient-dense, vibrant food that nourishes body, mind, and spirit, while building a strong community through shared experiences, education, and conscious leadership.
The Role
As our Orchards Team Lead, you’ll be the primary steward of our citrus and fruit orchards. From pruning and pest management to harvest and markets, you’ll work with integrity and care, nurturing the land while building strong relationships with our customers. It’s a role for someone who’s as comfortable with a mower as they are at a market stall, and who lights up when talking about fruit trees.
✨ What You’ll Be Doing
Lead the care of our citrus, longan, lychee, and mixed fruit orchards.
Monitor tree health, apply compost teas and organic inputs, and manage pests organically.
Handle seasonal pruning, mulching, mowing and general orchard maintenance.
Identify ripeness, organise harvests, and track yields.
Attend the Thursday farmers market, engaging customers with passion and purpose.
Build and maintain strong produce customer relationships.
Support other orchard systems during citrus off-season (agroforestry, tree health, etc).
We’d Love to Hear From You if You Have:
Minimum 12 months experience managing fruit or citrus trees.
Strong understanding of organic orchard systems and pest management.
Hands-on skills in pruning, mowing, whipper snipping, mulching, and harvesting.
Passion for fruit trees and regenerative agriculture.
Natural enthusiasm and skill for customer engagement.
A current Australian driver’s licence (essential).
Perks of Working With Us
A workplace grounded in conscious leadership and regenerative values.
Opportunities for learning, growth, and deeper connection to the land.
A beautiful working environment with a purpose-driven team.
Market day magic—connecting directly with community and customers.
You’ll be part of a movement, not just a job.
