Pack Barn Co-ordinator

Flourish Produce
Hildersham, Cambridge

Posted: 3 Mar 2025

Deadline: 17 Apr 2025

Compensation: Starting at £14 per hour

Paid Full-time Part-time

Job description

About the Job:

We are looking for a Pack Barn co-ordinator to manage the handling of our produce and the packing of orders for our restaurant customers as well as our wholesale customers. This is a practical and hands on job working closely with our harvest team and the farm office.

The right candidate will manage the produce (vegetables, herbs, edible flowers, garnish, grain, cut flowers) that we grow here on our organic farm.

Co-ordinator responsibilities will include:

• Stock management, ordering and inventory of supplies
• Post-harvest storage management
• Management of the storage of our winter crops (squash, onions, roots etc)
• Co-ordinating with our customers (restaurants and wholesale)
• Maintaining Quality control processes – our produce reflects the care that has been put in to growing it
• Liaising with the delivery drivers, helping with logistics if needed
• Training of new Pack Barn Assistants
• Ensuring Health and Safety procedures already in place are adhered to
• Day to day operations and logistics of the Pack Barn
• Work closely with the sales and office team

A passion for beautiful produce and delicious food along with an interest in sustainable farming and the hospitality industry would be helpful but not crucial.

Candidates must be available to work Monday, Wednesday and Friday on the farm until all final checks have taken place and the produce is ready to leave for deliveries. There is potential for this to be a 5 day a week job, flexibility with hours.

Starting at £14/hour

About the farm: Flourish Produce is a certified organic farm located just South of Cambridge, 60 miles north of London.

We specialise in producing a diverse range of high-quality crops including many unusual varieties. Going into our 8th season, we are growing on approximately 80 acres, producing vegetables, herbs, salads, fruit, flowers and grain. We cultivate a range of perennials, have planted a 20 acre agroforestry site, integrate mob grazing of sheep, and have built a complex rotation including green manures in each of our fields to build soil organic matter. In September of 2025 we will attain our Biodynamic certification.

The majority of our produce is sold directly to restaurants, independent shops, florist and bakeries as well as wholesale buyers, our own farm shop and to customers through our seasonal veg box scheme. Our team consists of 20 or more people depending on the time of year. We are very passionate about nurturing close relationships with people that we supply, sharing the story of our farm, our regenerative farming practices and the abundance of what we grow.

We look forward to hearing from you.
