Hello everyone!

My name is Theresa, I’m 32 and currently live in East Sussex and Portugal but plan to relocate to the Bristol/Stroud/Forest of Dean area in the spring of 2020. I am looking for an organic market gardening/farm job for next season. I would love to be given the opportunity to work alongside and learn from experienced growers.

I currently run a popular woodland campsite near Battle and work for the organic veg box scheme Pea Pod Veg in Hailsham. My husband and I own 8 acres of traditional olive grove, pasture and mixed woodland in Portugal and our aim is to set up a small business there in the future, growing vegetables and fruit for local restaurants and a veg box scheme.

In my season at Pea Pod Veg, a two year old market garden, I was able to gain experience in commercial food production, first as a volunteer and then as a paid member of staff. I had the opportunity to observe the dynamics of this young business through the season and work in a small team with the owners Abby and Thad. With them I gained experience in many aspects of growing, harvesting and veg box packing, and now want to further develop my knowledge of growing high quality crops.

I am a practical, adaptable and enthusiastic person, and take joy in efficiency and holistic systems. Health and happiness are key to me – nourishing food, a nourishing environment, continuous learning and regular exercise (climbing and running) are my tools to achieving them.

I will spend the coming winter in Portugal but will be in the area next week (29th Oct – 2nd Nov) and again from March 2020 if you would like to meet me. CV and references available on request. We can also arrange a working interview, Skype chat etc if you like.
