You will bring your experience of no pesticide commercial market gardening, ideally no dig and hand harvest, with production ideas to drive this exciting business forward.

You will have extensive organic horticultural growing and market garden crop planning experience. An ability to inspire, train and manage current & future team members while engaging positively with the general public.
