You will be involved in all aspects of running the market garden, including propagation, cultivation, fertility management and crop care . There will also be opportunities to get involved in other aspects of the farm including marketing, events and working with volunteers, depending on your interests.
In exchange for 4 days a week we can offer £75 stipend and fresh vegetables. Caravan accommodation is available if desired.
To apply, please send us an email explaining why you are interested in joining us for the year and your current growing and other work experience. Deadline for applications is the 28th February. Informal interviews/ work day at the farm will be held in the second week of March. For any questions and to apply please email in...@schoolfarmcsa.org.uk.
