​Internship and general Team Roles

​

We have a very ambitious Autumn and Winter ahead and have a few spaces available for extra people to join our team.

​

To apply, please read the below carefully and fill out this google form.

​​​​

Henbant is a beautiful, small, permaculture inspired and holistically managed farm between the mountains and the sea in North West Wales. 

​

We are on a mission to prove that you can buy a small farm on a mortgage, pay that mortgage, produce really good nutrient dense food, build soil, build biodiversity, build social capitol and at the same time enjoy it. If we can prove this works then we can do our bit at making the world a slightly better place. Proving this isn’t easy however, if we are to out compete the conventional system we need to be organised, optimistic and hard working. 

​

We are looking for a team of people to join us on this mission. The main team structure is a paid, lead person for (1) livestock/silvopastoralist (Holistically managed cattle, woodland pigs, pastured laying hens/agrofroesty); (2) for the market garden (No-dig, CSA veg box scheme);  and (3) for our people related interactions (courses, shared spaces, meeting and greeting, cleaning and maintaining our hobbit houses/cabins.

 

Our Market Garden Lead role is filled, we will at some point this winter be looking for a new silvopastoralist and we are looking for a new people person NOW.
 

Each of these paid roles also works with an intern who learns from and supports them as well as getting involved more widely across the farm. You also get free access to most of our training. It is these places that are mainly up for grabs over the Autumn/Winter and we have some space for people able/wanting to start ASAP.

 

Other not currently paid roles include building, agroforestry systems, rewilding work, woodland and tree propagation. Everybody on farm gets involved in every enterprise.

​

You would get to experience food from sowing the seed and delivering a calf, through to cooking and serving that to garden full of excited guests. 

​

You may feel you fit a blend of the above roles. You would be on a dedicated path to a life of regenerative farming, chefing or low-impact building. You will be hard working, intelligent, enthusiastic, people and nature loving and positive. 

​

Your job role is essentially to help the farms context become more true. No job is not your job. 

​

The ability to drive, have a growth mindset, lift heavy things and speak Welsh is an advantage.

​

Seasonal or shorter roles are however on a voluntary basis. We can offer a fun, outdoors, healthy way of living; wholesome mainly home produced and organic food, private accommodation and lots of experience, conversation and training on the cutting edge of regenerative and permaculture farming and living.
