Job description
Human Resource Generalist job at Handsome Brook Farms. Louisville, KY.
Handsome Brook Farms is a pioneer in pasture-raised organic egg production. Founded in upstate New York with just five hens, we have grown into the nation's leading producer of organic pasture-raised eggs with partner farms in 10 states. Dedicated to acting handsomely in all aspects of operations, Handsome Brook Farms is committed to treating farmers, animals, and the land with the utmost respect. Our mission is to provide consumers with a clean, responsibly-raised source of protein that they can trust—from coop to carton. As a certified B Corp since March 2021, Handsome Brook Farms upholds the highest standards of social and environmental performance. In 2022, we acquired The Farmer's Hen, expanding our grower network and diversifying production and distribution to include Organic, Conventional Free Range, and Cage-Free eggs. In 2024, we decided to add company-owned farms to our operations. This allows us to deepen our connection to the land, transition certain acreage to organic, and ensure that every step of the process reflects our unwavering commitment to sustainability and animal welfare. We are further expanding into processing our eggs and are seeking Human Resource Generalist.
