Bore Place Organic Market Garden
The Market Garden at Bore Place is 6½ acres (all outdoors) and supplies box schemes around Brighton and London as well as some wholefood shops. We grow a wide range of vegetables and do most of the propagating ourselves. During the season you will see and experience sowing, planting crop maintenance and harvesting.
The market garden is a medium-scale veg growing business. If you want to learn about producing for wholesale on a reasonable scale and learn about the ins and outs of it, I am keen to share whatever I know and see it as a practical training opportunity as well. I can accommodate 1 person during the season and the work is paid. Please send an email to me for more information - Metske van der Laan metske.laan@boreplace.org - and tell us something about yourself and the experience you have. The search for new seasonal workers starts every year around December/January, so if you're looking for something around that time, please get in touch.
We have found two seasonal growers for 2022. Please feel free to send your CV for future consideration.
