Agroecological Miller

The Fold
Bransford, Worcestershire

Posted: 4 Nov 2025

Deadline: 12 Dec 2025

Compensation: £12.60 - £14 per hour depending on experience

Paid Part-time Flexible hours

Job description

We’re looking for a practical, motivated and values-driven individual to help develop our on-farm milling enterprise — transforming heritage and population wheats, and other organically grown crops, into high-quality flours and products for local bakers and retailers.

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a regenerative, stock-free organic farm working towards a fairer, more sustainable food system. You’ll be helping to build a small but significant local food initiative rooted in ecological principles and community connection.

Key Responsibilities

• Operate and maintain the mill, granary and associated equipment in line with health, safety and environmental standards.
• Mill, blend and sift grains according to demand, ensuring consistent quality and traceability.
• Oversee quality control, keeping all grains and flours clean, dry, and contaminant-free.
• Manage stock control of grains, packaging and milled products, tracking key metrics such as moisture content.
• Package and label products accurately and in compliance with food regulations.
• Coordinate deliveries and communicate with accounts for accurate invoicing.
• Engage with bakers, retailers and customers to understand their needs and build reliable sales relationships.
• Develop systems and procedures for smooth, efficient operation of the mill and granary.
• Contribute to the farm’s wider planning, agroecological management and operations, including composts, teas , soil health and more.

About You

You’ll be someone who brings a mix of hands-on skill, curiosity, and care for people and the planet. You might have previous experience in milling, baking, grain cleaning or organic farming — or simply the drive to learn.

We’re especially interested in people who:

• Have a practical understanding of organic and regenerative agriculture, the soil and gut microbiome, and sourdough baking.
• Are well-organised, proactive and comfortable working independently.
• Have some sales, marketing or customer relationship skills, ideally within food or farming.
• Hold a UK driving licence and, ideally, some land-based training or qualifications.
• Can support the farm’s Soil Association accreditation through good record keeping and admin.
• Share the ethos and principles of The Fold, and are eager to grow personally and professionally.

Outcomes & Impact

• The milling enterprise becomes financially sustainable, supporting the wider farm.
• Sales and customer satisfaction increase through quality, reliability and community engagement.
• Waste is minimised, and the mill gains an excellent reputation for integrity and craftsmanship
