Jobs are few and far between, and even fewer that are actually real or open to anyone outside of the 'circles'. I hate that. Anyway found this one which sounds pretty genuine and good, although a bit low wages for a 'Head' grower with responsibilities. In fact I worked it out to only just £9 per hour. Regardless an interesting place to work so there is there that to consider.

Head Grower – Forty Hall Farm Market Garden

Salary is from £17,777 to £19,907 plus £1,716.50LW

Closing date 20.3.13

Vacancy is full time but on a fixed term contract until December 2014, with the option of extension subject to funding.

Forty Hall Farm is run by Capel Manor College. The Farm encompasses over 170 acres of grade 1 agricultural land, which is certified organic. The College is working to make Forty Hall Farm a centre that teaches and promotes sustainable food production.

We are seeking a highly motivated, enthusiastic and experienced Head Grower to lead this project. The grower will work alongside the Farm Coordinator to establish the market garden and will be responsible for the day-to-day running of t­­he garden and its associated vegetable box scheme.

Main responsibilities will revolve around the establishment of the garden. This will include developing planting plans and crop rotations, purchasing seeds, helping to establish covered growing areas and other set-up activities. As the garden develops, the Grower will be responsible for developing a day-to-day work plan, which integrates appropriate work for Farm apprentices, College students and volunteers
