This year we have 2 paid trainee posts available with Ash & Elm horticulture, in association with Great Oak Foods Veg shop.

Interested in local food, working outside, learning new skills. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us

To get an interview you need to be in receipt of universal credit & be between the ages of 16 & 24. Work begins in March.

Before the growing season really kicks in we have lots happening and we are starting to gear up again after a quiet month, full of rest and planning.

During February we have another new greenhouse and polytunnel going up. That will put even more stress on our rain water collection. After last years 3 months of drought, we are investing in a borehole, to give us much needed water for the crops. We have been lucky enough that Social Farms & Gardens Edible Horticultural Grant will part fund the drilling of the borehole.

We have just had our delivery of Organic compost ready for the new season of seed sowing to commence in February. In the meantime we are still harvesting Kale and Brussel sprouts, and the daffodils are in full swing now.
