________________________________________________________________________

Good Small Farms took over the management of Hammonds Farm in 2021. The 100 acre farm is situated in the beautiful Cotswold countryside, just outside Stroud. We are developing the farm as a mixed, regenerative farm that will include various farming enterprises focused on local food and fibre supply using agro-ecological approaches. So far we have established a market garden, fruit and nut agroforestry, a tree nursery, beef herd and chickens.

We are looking for a motivated, hardworking and flexible person to join the team at Good Small Farms. The role will involve taking responsibility for all sales channels which currently include wholesale, a veg bag scheme and market stalls. We sell direct and so a key part of the role is marketing a clear message of what we stand for and being consistent across all channels.

This role is initially part time (ideally 4-5 hours each day) and will be supported by other members of the farm team. There is scope for this role to expand to full time as the scale of activity and sales increases.

Responsibilities

• Managing the box scheme (buying in veg during the hungry months, curating the box contents)
• Curating the market stalls
• Developing the wholesale channel of local cafés and caterers
• Managing the marketing messages across all channels
• Coordinating pricing and availability with the teams
• Developing systems that streamline sales across different products and channels
• Developing new products
• Seeking collaborations with other producers and processors

Skills and Experience

• Experience of food sales is essential
• Financial competence
• Eloquent copy writing
• Fantastic customer service skills
• Digital marketing
• Good communication and team-working skills
• Excellent organisational skills
• A love of the land and our core beliefs
• A sense of humour
• Full UK driving licence
