About Stream Farm
Stream Farm is a 260-acre organic farm nestled in a hidden valley high up in the Quantocks in Somerset. We are certified Organic and Pasture for Life, and focussed on sustainable, regenerative farming practices. We produce organic beef, lamb, pork, chicken, eggs, apple juice and raw honey, along with stream-fed fresh and oak-smoked rainbow trout, selling direct to customers.
The vision for the farm is to profitably support several different farming businesses, enabling those who want to farm to join, for a period of time, in order to gain experience and learn how to run a sustainable farming enterprise. Alongside this we are passionate about reconnecting consumers with producers, undoing the damage caused by the supermarkets.
About the role
The Rainbow Trout business at Stream Farm produces oak-smoked fillets and whole fresh fish, reared in four stream-fed ponds on the farm, for a variety of customers: door-to-door sales, restaurants, butchers and shops.
As the Rainbow Trout Farmer you would take responsibility for the day-to-day running of the business, under the supervision of the Farm Managers. This includes weekly processing of the oak-smoked filets and whole fresh trout to fulfill orders, stock taking and record keeping, pond maintenance and fish husbandry, and other work as necessary. On occasion you will be required to help with wider work across the farm.
The role is best suited to someone with good attention to detail, who enjoys working outdoors. Full training will be provided so previous experience, whilst desirable, is not necessary. Of greater importance is a positive attitude and a willingness to learn. The role is physically demanding, so a good level of fitness is required.
Both full time and part time applicants (trout only) will be considered. For a full time role accommodation can be provided in one of the farm cottages.
