We are looking for people to join the farm with an interest in, and experience of, organic farming, who need access to land to develop their own ideas.

Radford Mill Farm is 112 acre farm managed organically since 1976. Currently about 90% of the land is grassland. We have a market garden enterprise utilising six large poly-tunnels and about 5 acres of land, an orchard and a soft fruit field. We have chickens, turkeys, sheep and bees.
There are also a number of craft studios on site and we run a number of events throughout the year including weddings and small festivals.

We are offering options for people to build their own leasehold agricultural businesses using the land available within the overall scope of the farm and working alongside other established businesses onsite.
We have a successful outlet for produce through our own farm shop in Bristol.

In particular we have readily available options for
Chickens, turkeys and other poultry,
Field work, (fruit and vegetable),
Orchard, willow and other woodland projects.

Alternatively we would be interested in discussing any other agricultural or horticultural project you have in mind that requires organic land. Primarily this would on a self-employed, small business basis but there may be options for some salaried work – negotiable depending on experience.

Applicants may choose to live off-site but there is on-site accommodation available to rent – spacious rooms in the large farmhouse with shared living, cooking, washing facilities. There are also workshops available to rent.

Please note that these opportunities are only for people with a knowledge of organic farming and regulation, with relevant training and experience and who are able to produce a credible business plan in their area of expertise.
Applicants should also be interested in living in a mutually supportive community of small businesses.
