The grower should have at about 4 seasons organic food growing experience with at least two of those years in the UK or similar climate.

Badminton Garden Farm was a market garden venture, supplying seasonal vegetables to a box scheme, a stall at Bath/Bristol Farmers Market and a stall in Badminton village every Friday. For the last year, the land has been prepared ready to grow and sell veg again.

There is a walled garden (1.3 acres) a shallow-soiled walled garden (0.3 acres), 3 polytunnels, a small greenhouse, large workshop/packing shed, tool shed and basic, detached one-room accommodation with bath, basin and loo (no WiFi). The garden has prepared seedbeds and is partly planted. There is a list of local customers who bought vegetables till Dec 2020.

The grower will be responsible for all income and sales, advertising, marketing, distribution, 
and for managing and directing volunteers and any other labour as required. It is possible that the whoofers could stay in caravans, in the bedsit room or the main house.
