Hello! We’re a fledgeling community in the wilding heart of Cheshire, living on a 27-acre permaculture smallholding. Inspired by regenerative growing practices, experiences in indigenous nature-connected cultures, and the need to respond to climate breakdown, we’ve come together to build relationship with this land and with each other.

** LEAD GROWER WANTED **
We are looking for someone to join us for the whole 2023 growing season (ideally from now-ish until Sept/Oct). After receiving an initiation into our No Dig, organic, permaculture growing systems and practices, you will become the primary person managing and organising the 1/4-acre kitchen garden (with freedom to be creative and experimental), and the go-to person for shorter-term WWOOF volunteers. We are looking for someone proactive and capable, and you will need to be self-reliant, though you will also receive help and support from us including the benefit of our 5-6 years’ experience.

This will be an opportunity for you to ‘try out’ the life of a more serious grower within our little Beech Hill community, to learn what we do, as well as to learn together with us (every season presents new learnings!). It will provide valuable experience of managing a large garden and volunteers in a low-risk and supportive environment, with opportunity to experiment e.g. growing salads for sale.

Our exchange for this role:
– 25 hours per week for full bed & board (inc. lots of delicious home-grown produce and opportunities to join workshops & retreats)
– OR 35 hours a week for full bed & board plus a £160/month stipend

Get in touch to apply and for more details 🙂
