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.

    Chagfood is a six-acre Community Market Garden on the north-east edge of Dartmoor supplying 120 veg-shares a week to local households. We are going into our eleventh season and are looking for two hard-working, enthusiastic apprentices to join our growing team for six-months from mid April – mid October 2020. We are able to offer an informal but comprehensive apprenticeship programme providing training in all aspects of setting-up and running a successful community supported market garden, from crop planning to sowing, cultivation, transplanting, organic crop husbandry, harvesting, marketing and business management.

    We are able to provide basic but clean and tidy caravans for accommodation on our site along with a field kitchen, drinking water and a compost loo. We also offer £75 per week as a living allowance in addition to fresh vegetables from our fields. In return we ask for our apprentices to work four days a week, averaging 8-hours a day, to be enthusiastic, practical and willing to learn and work as part of a hard working team.

    Applicants should send an email to chagfood@gmail.com outlining why you are interested in the apprenticeship, what experience – if any, you have in market gardening and what qualities you think you will bring to our team. The deadline for applications is 5pm on Monday 13th January 2020 and interviews will take place during the week of the 20th January.

    Please feel free to circulate the position to other interested individuals and If you have any questions please send us an email or call Ed on 07858 381539
