Grower - United Kingdom - Organic Growers Alliance
Description
Head grower job available for 2024.We have never had a head grower before, but it is now time for myself to take more of a back seat, so that I can focus on other aspects of the business.
The farm covers 120acres over two sites and we grow crops on about 30 acres, including 5000m2 polytunnels. We also have pigs, sheep and alpacas. We deliver over 1600 boxes a week and supply other box schemes, retail outlets and our own farm shop. We have a great talented team, but think we would benefit from someone that has good agricultural experience. We have our established ways of working but we are always open to new methods and enjoy experimentation. Most of our field operations are mechanised and we have a wide range of trac-tor mounted implements. Harvest work is machine assisted but largely done by hand.This is a great opportunity to join Scotland's largest box scheme and will suit someone with a wide range of practical skills who is excited by the prospect and challenges of field-scale organic production.
Normal working hours are 8am to 5pmSome weekend work will be required occasionally.
Salary depending on experience.
