We’re recruiting a seasonal grower for next year: April – October, 4 days per week. Pay is £13.15ph (London Living Wage, £19,830pa equivalent to £24,617 full time).

Forty Hall Farm is located in Enfield on the edge of north London. It’s a historic, diverse 60ha mixed farm with extensive pasture, woodland, a five hectare vineyard, community orchard and of course a three hectare Market Garden.

We grow a wide range of seasonal veg, selling via our own veg bag scheme (Enfield Veg Co), on-site farm shop as well as limited local wholesale.

The job involves all aspects of commercial veg production at a variety of scales, and includes working at smaller scale with hand tools as well as the use of tractor drawn machinery.
It also includes assisting with packing our weekly veg bags and preparing orders, and also occasional supervision of volunteer and student groups. We’re also hoping to further develop our cut flower project.

It’s a great opportunity to develop your skills over an intense period of the growing season.

The farm is accessible by public transport – 25-30 mins walk (7-10 min cycle) to frequent trains from Liverpool St (via Seven Sisters or Tottenham Hale) and Moorgate (via Finsbury Park). Most of us take bikes on trains which is quite convenient. Live in the city and work in the countryside!
