Job description
ABOUT NATOORA
Natoora started 20 years ago with a very simple, yet powerful goal to find incredible flavour in fresh produce. Today, our dedication to this mission has grown into an impactful network of over 500 independent growers spanning nine sourcing hubs across three continents. Our mission is clear: to fix the food system at scale by reinstating flavour, nutrition and transparency, all while safeguarding the health of our soils.
Experts in sourcing flavour-first, seasonal fruits and vegetables, we work with hundreds of kitchens and some of the most exciting and influential chefs in London, New York, Miami, Copenhagen, Paris, and Melbourne. However, our commitment to creating a better food system also extends beyond professional kitchens to a strong community of home consumers across the US and the UK. From chefs to home cooks to schoolchildren, we want to empower everyone to make better food choices and become informed drivers of change.
On the way, we have been named a Sunday Times Fast Track 100 Company, appeared on the Financial Times’ list of Europe’s fastest-growing companies, and proudly received a GQ Food & Drinks Sustainability Award.
ABOUT THE FARM
Great Fen is Natoora’s five-acre market garden on the Hampshire-Surrey border - near Liphook. Established in 2022, the farm produces a diverse and ever-evolving crop plan of flavour-first varieties using organic methods, balancing staple crops with more innovative, experimental trials. Supplying some of London’s most progressive restaurants through Natoora’s supply chain, the farm presents a rare opportunity for collaboration with some of London’s most forward-thinking chefs. With ambitious plans to build on these foundations over the next 12 months, this role represents a chance to join our team at an exciting moment in our journey.
ABOUT YOU
We are looking for a seasonal grower to join us full-time, from April to October.
You have at least one year of growing experience on a farm, although candidates with a genuine interest in organic horticulture with less experience are still encouraged to apply. You should have a positive mindset, and a willingness to learn about how a vegetable farm operates. A proactive attitude to learning is essential since we are a small team. This is a varied role with plenty of opportunities to learn on the job and have meaningful and rewarding input into the farm.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Not limited to, but mainly
BENEFITS
Food for lunch is provided during the growing season.
There is a possibility for accommodation on the farm, depending on the applicant's situation. The accommodation would also be suitable for a couple.
Our vision for a better food system is built on real human relationships and a diversity of experience, perspective and ideas. We are committed to equality of opportunity and welcome applications from individuals, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, socio-economic background, religion and/or belief.
