Chagford CSA is a ten-acre community-supported market garden on the north-east edge of Dartmoor supplying 130 CSA veg-shares a week to local households. We’re going into our seventeenth growing-season and looking to recruit a part-time Assistant Grower for six-months from mid April – mid October 2026. We have recently moved onto a new growing site where we are developing a silvo-horticultural system using woodchip and biochar from our coppice woodland to build fertility and soil-carbon within our rotation.
The position will support all aspects of running a commercial community supported market garden, from propagation to cultivation, transplanting, weeding, organic crop husbandry, harvesting and managing volunteers. The role is paid at £12.50/hour for 22-hours/week – across four days Monday-Thursday. Caravan accommodation – or space to park-up – on one of our growing sites is also available. We’re looking for someone who is hard-working, enthusiastic, practical and willing to learn and work as part of a team. A season’s experience on a commercial market garden is desirable but not essential.
