The farm also has a broiler unit.  Sustainable farming and consideration of regenerative farming are supported by the Estate. We want to produce the best crops possible and supply exceptional quality meat to our own farm shop, which showcases the best the region has to offer.

The farm manager will be responsible for the existing suckler X herd, the poultry unit, sheep flock and developing pig system alongside the arable operations.

  • report directly to the Estate Director and be part of a small team of enterprise managers which includes our farm shop managing director and our estate manager. Close working will also be required with our head butcher on requirements for the retail business.
  • lead a farms team, including a dedicated poultry manager.
  • need to have a hands-on approach and the ability to get things done in a timely manner and efficiently, as well as to communicate effectively.

The salary package will be commensurate with experience or potential, to include a house and use of an estate vehicle.
