WE ARE NO LONGER TAKING APPLICATIONS FOR THIS PLACEMENT

We are able to offer a 6 month traineeship for the summer on our organic farm at Nantclyd, west Wales. We need someone happy to work on their own and with others on a 30 acre organically-run holding with hens, pullets, sheep, horses, mixed vegetables, plant raising, soft fruit and polytunnels.

The work involves planting, weeding, harvesting of veg and fruit, milling and mixing feed, working with livestock and general farm work. This is all hard physical work, outdoor all weathers all year round. The position is available now with a 1 month trial period.

No smokers or dogs allowed and the applicant needs to have experience of volunteering/working on a farm.

There is caravan accommodation. Your own transport is essential as the farm is isolated: 3 miles from the nearest village Llanilar and 7 miles from Aberystwyth.
