Harvest Team Volunteers

Hampshire Market Garden is a not-for-profit social enterprise that is working to show the world that healthy soil can protect our future. From food security to climate resilience, we will demonstrate that caring for what lies beneath our feet is the key to a sustainable future.

We grow organic veg on a beautiful two acre site in the South Downs National Park with a focus on soil health, educating communities on how important it is, and collaborating with farmers, organisations, and policymakers to drive change and promote sustainable land stewardship.

We are offering some exciting new volunteering opportunities to people who want to come and be part of the new food revolution!

We are looking for a team that is passionate about good quality food to help us with our weekly harvest on Mondays. We are growing more and more veg and the most exciting part of that is harvesting it to package off to our customers, food banks, pantries, and more.

• Join the team to harvest, wash, prepare and pack veg & fruit
• Harvest days are Monday mornings to mid afternoon

Required Skills:

• A desire to be outside and passion for good food is all that is needed
• This role is a fairly physical role as vegetables are grown in the ground without raised areas

Tools Used:

• Knives, snips, crates, packaging, wash facilities and gloves (all provided).
• Good footwear and waterproof clothing (your own required).

Skills

• A love of the outdoors, the natural environment and food growing.
• Able to work as part of a team.
• Can follow instructions closely when harvesting, washing and packing veg.
• Awareness of health and safety on site.
• Full training given.
