Grower at Canalside CSA
Canalside Community Food, a pioneering CSA based outside Leamington Spa, is looking for a new grower to add to our team and improve the farm’s resilience. We are seeking a candidate with growing experience to join our team producing organic vegetables and fruit throughout the year for our community of 170 members.
The successful candidate will be a highly committed team-player and work in collaboration with the growing team, administration team and seasonal staff, as well as the steering committee and volunteers. The grower will contribute to conducting the day-to-day work on the farm, which includes among other things harvesting the weekly shares, growing the veg following a tight schedule to provide shares year round, contribute to land and soil care, and contribute to general maintenance work.
We are looking for somebody to commit to this opportunity for the next season, from beginning of March 2024 to end of October 2024. For the right candidate, there is scope to adapt the role to a longer term position, dependent on previous experience as well as their contribution.
We currently have 8 acres of field scale vegetables, 7 large polytunnels for protected cropping and a 2 acre orchard of top and soft fruit. This position is 3 days a week (22.5 hours per week beginning March to end October) with pay rate from £12.20 per hour, statutory holiday allowance and a pension offered.
