Farm Manager

Passionate about growing nutritious food sustainably? Perhaps you could be CoFarm Cambridge’s
new Farm Manager?

As CoFarm Cambridge enters its 6th growing season, we’re excited to be launching the search for
a special ‘plants and people person’ to join our growing team as Farm Manager.

The person we are looking for will be an experienced and knowledgeable head grower/market
gardener/farm manager who thrives on enthusing, teaching and giving others the confidence and
skills to grow food sustainably. Warm, confident and highly collaborative, you will have a
knack for putting people at ease and making them feel comfortable, valued and included.

Creating universal access to sustainable, nutritious food is something you will be passionate
about. You will understand why and how a ‘just transition’ to agroecological food and farming
systems across the UK – and indeed globally – is key to tackling climate change, biodiversity
loss and health inequalities.

In order to ensure a successful harvest this season, the farm’s seedlings are being raised and
supplied on a freelance basis by the previous horticultural lead. The successful candidate will
therefore be overseeing the planting of this year’s crops but will not be required to raise
this season’s seedlings, as this process is already well underway.

Please note: The deadline for applications is Monday 17th March 2025. 

Interviews will take place between 26th and 31st March.

The successful candidate/s will be invited to start ASAP, subject to receipt of successful
references.
