East SussexAn exciting opportunity to take the reins of a family owned farm, where regenerative farming practices and biodiversity take centre stage.
The 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.
This 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.
The 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.
