Horticulture Team
Our Horticulture Team manages our organic growing business, undertaking all the tasks across our ten-acre site. There is always a variety of jobs to be done, no matter what time of year it is, and each day our volunteers divide up into small teams and set to work.
We tackle everything from seed-sowing and planting, to harvesting and packing produce, and new volunteers quickly learn how to do tasks with the support of fellow participants. We provide regular training, both formally and informally, to make sure the team knows how to work, and experienced team members will provide supervision on more complex tasks such as packing orders or using farm machinery. Our tractor driving courses are always over subscribed and some team members become expert at harrowing beds or using planting machinery.
Working in the fields can provide a great sense of accomplishment and wellbeing, seeing the the plants you've grown become food for seventy households.
