Jon Gardner

About the Job

Quiet. Capable. Hard to read. Jon is the farm manager — the one who keeps everything running without needing recognition. He’s steady, observant, and speaks only when it matters. There’s a past he doesn’t talk about, and it shows in how he carries himself. He forms a quiet, slow-building connection with Cat Enright. Nothing forced — just presence, trust, and something deeper underneath. This role is about subtlety. We’re looking for someone who can say a lot without saying much.
