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.

You can also find information under the About Us header about branch and regional organising, and identity groups within the LWA membership.

    We’re looking for a keen veg grower to join us for the next growing season.

    We are a natural farming, permaculture, re-wilding and eco-spiritual project in the heart of Cheshire, North-West England, looking forward to our 4th growing season. The site is 27 acres, a mixture of ex-pasture and ancient, semi-natural woodland: some areas are mainly re-wilding themselves, some areas have native woodland plantings and permaculture fruit/nut orchard plantings, as well as free-range chickens and a (roughly) 1/2 acre ‘no-dig’ kitchen garden. We grow our own veg, offer surplus locally, and run embodied awareness and nature connection retreats and workshops.

    We’re looking for someone who can join us in March, so we can plan the growing season together and see it through, committing to staying until the end of September/October – with regular check-ins to make sure it’s working for both of us.

    The ideal candidate will want to be living regeneratively, and have experience growing vegetables in a large kitchen or market garden context and have ideas and enthusiasms about what they want to grow in the coming year. If you’re excited by natural farming, permaculture, and/or re-wilding and want to work in a fairly self-directed way in a small collaborative team this might be the perfect opportunity for you.

    The opportunity is to work 25h a week (Mon, Wed, Thur, Fri 9.30-5 with a one hour lunch break) in exchange for room and board. If you’re local and would prefer to stay in your own house we can find a different solution and/or if financial security would prevent you from joining us please do contact us.

    If this works well, there is scope for becoming more involved in the project and perhaps developing your own micro-enterprise(s).

    More info is available on our website.

    Be well 🙂
