Are you a food grower who is passionate about agro-ecological practices and wants to make a real difference to an organisation, the earth and the local community? We have an opportunity for you to lead the growing for a community veg box scheme.
Common Soil is a fledgling community-supported agriculture (CSA) project in Stroud, Gloucestershire. We currently serve 50 members with weekly shares of naturally grown vegetables (without use of pesticides or artificial fertilisers) from three acres of a beautiful, ecologically rich site within walking distance of the town. We also have a community market garden onsite for specialist produce, wholesale and educational opportunities.
We are now seeking a grower to deliver the next stage of the diverse food growing for the veg box scheme, as we expand to 80 weekly veg shares in the next food growing season. You will work directly with another part-time grower, a co-ordinator and a range of volunteers to run the veg box scheme.
