\r\nAn exciting opportunity to take the reins of a family owned farm, where regenerative farming practices and biodiversity take centre stage.\r\n\r\n\r\nThe family need a farm manager to run the 450 acre farm on their behalf, who shares their vision of a sustainable farming operation that protects soils, provides habitat for nature and produces high quality produce.\r\n\r\n\r\nThis is an ideal opportunity for someone who is forward-thinking and passionate about sustainable farming. You'll have the freedom to experiment with new ideas and move away from traditional practices.\r\n\r\n\r\nThe farm currently comprises a flock of sheep, a herd of Sussex cattle, and a small area of low-input barley grown for winter feed. However, this setup is open to change, and someone who can contribute fresh ideas and help shape the farm’s future strategy would be highly valued.\r\n\r\n\r\nWhile an experienced Farm Manager is preferred, we also welcome applications from graduates, Assistant Managers, and farm workers who are ready to take the next step in their career.
