Requests for work, volunteering or internships

We are currently not recruiting for any roles but please read our newsletters for any announcements. We currently do not offer any volunteer or internship placements directly with the LWA, but keep an eye out in the newsletter or on the forum for any members looking for volunteers or workers.

Academic/Research Enquiries

Please look at the Agroecology Research Collaboration to see if it fits your area of research/work.

Membership Support / Advice

Currently the LWA does not have capacity or resources to help individual members or potential members on their specific projects, farms or programmes. We get a lot of requests for individual support and would love to have the time to respond to each request in full. We are fundraising for a new role for somebody to focus on membership support and services as we have identified it is a gap in our offering so please watch this space. Having said that, if your query is critical and urgent please email info@landworkersalliance.org.uk including the word URGENT in the subject header and it will get picked up and we can try our best to help.

Contacting Individual Staff

Please take the time to explore our staff page here to see who the most relevant contact for your enquiry is. Our addresses format is firstname.lastname@landworkersalliance.org.uk Please bear in mind we all work part time and have limited capacity to respond to enquiries outside our core areas of work. You can also find information under the About Us header about branch and regional organising, and identity groups within the LWA membership.

    We are an organic market garden based in a 2.5-acre walled garden. We are part of a diversified regenerative farm. We supply vegetables, fruit and flowers locally and to select London restaurants.

    We use no-dig methods focussing on soil health and composting, making our own amendments and experimenting with ways to manage soil and plant health and growing. We grow for flavour and nutritional density and diversity above all else, and include a huge variety of interesting and unusual crops, trying new varieties every season. We will be starting our biodynamic journey in 2023 and we are certified organic.

    Applicants:

    We seek enthusiastic, industrious and self-motivated interns with a good-natured and positive attitude to become part of our small field team.

    Clear communication in English is helpful, as is a driving licence.

    What we can offer:

    • A fantastic learning opportunity with hands-on experience of all aspects of market gardening.
    • Management of perennial flower beds, cut flowers, vegetables and fruit trees, polytunnel and greenhouse management and using small farm/growing machinery.
    • You will be a part of every process, establishing new no-dig beds, composting, sowing, pricking out, planting, propagating, seed saving, pruning, watering, harvesting, flower arranging and packing.
    • Regular teaching/group discussion sessions to further your knowledge and understanding of market gardening/growing.
