MORE ABOUT US BELOW THIS JOB AD!

Job Specification: Head Blueberry Farmer

Start date: January 2025

Location: Here! Wimborne, Dorset

About us:

Brothers Farm currently farm the UK’s oldest Blueberry plantation (Soil Association certified Organic) and the younger Brothers Farm Flowers here in East Dorset. The Blueberries have also just been shortlisted for the 2023 BBC Food & Farming Awards.

We are looking for someone enthusiastic, skilled and full of beans to take on the role of Head Blueberry Farmer here in the hard working Brothers Farm team on a full-time basis.

This is a unique opportunity to get fully involved into the world of Blueberry Farming and you will be joining a small team of motivated and experienced professionals that are turning this old site into something with a vision for the future through ongoing development and exciting changes ahead.

As a new Bro / Sis to the team you’ll be getting hands on training, the chance to learn a variety of other skills adaptable to all sorts of horticulture & land management too, taking on farm responsibilities, learning all about the UK’s oldest organic Blueberry Farm that is attracting media attention from Country Living to the BBC, plus there is of course an abundant supply of Blueberries & Flowers!

This role really will be what the right person makes of it and could potentially turn into a career that only a few other people currently do in this country.

Job Description:

This is an outdoor all year round farming role & you will be working outside with us in all conditions come rain or shine, covering all aspects of Blueberry Farming throughout the year from pruning in the winter to harvest in the summer and everything in-between.

The role is specifically to look after the Blueberry Plantation and manage it organically and productively throughout the year.

There will also be work on the wider site including the maintenance & improvement of the landscape including cutting grass / hedges / clearing / planting and occasionally on the front of house side of things too in the summer and our Christmas events.

With our produce being predominantly a 6 week intensive harvest it is important that we all work suitably hard both during this time which is through July & August and take well earned respite / holiday either side of these months where possible.

Therefore the right candidate will be a hard worker, keen to learn, happy to chip in wherever needs and also have a positive attitude to get through the soggy cold days and to really make the most of the sunny ones!

Horticultural / farming experience with a driving license is preferred, along with a positive attitude and hard-working approach to all tasks being a must. This being said, the job could suit a less experienced but incredibly keen graduate of growing stuff if they were showed enough ambition and aptitude for it.

Our main objective is to find someone here to really get into everything Blueberry and help us take on our unique product forward into the next phase of Brothers Farm.

Main tasks to begin with include:

Blueberry Care & Improvement (Jan-June): Pruning / Raking / Mowing / Trimming / Fertiliser Application / Watering / Tying up / Netting / Preparing site for the summer
Blueberry Harvest (July & August): Blueberry harvesting / packing / helping with organising the team / making it happen!
Farm Maintenance (Sept-Dec): Hedge-cutting / Clearing / Driving Farm Equipment / Strimming

Wages:

This is an employed full-time position of 40 hours a week including 4 weeks paid holiday plus all the Bank holidays.

We are able to offer an annual salary between £20-27k per annum depending on the person & circumstances of the applicant - either way we are really happy to talk about it to make it work for the right person.

Applications:

If you would like to apply for the position above then please do so by sending an email containing an introduction to yourself along with your attached CV to:

dan@brothersfarm.co.uk

Look forward to hearing from you!

The Brothers Farm Team

ABOUT US

We are Josh & Dan – Two Dorset brothers who run the the oldest Blueberry plantation in the UK.

The Trehanes who started the farm have now retired and since 2015 Josh has been looking after the Bluebs and mastering the ways & means of keeping these old and unique plants alive and thriving.

After three years of single-handed farming Josh invited his brother Dan to get involved and in 2018 Brothers Farm was born.

The Blueberries now had some much needed help, however in order to extend the incredibly short season and diversify what the farm provided they started to grow cut-flowers and introduce a seasonal cafe in the summer...

You can pretty much see all the development since then by visiting our Instagram page

@brothersfarmdorset which documents 2018 to the now as they say the rest is history...

Step by step we are still trying to make a living from growing Organic fruit AND improving the farm along the way by diversifying its income, productivity & biodiversity in a way that will enable the farm to live on after we have had our time too.

It's a long game for sure and with many challenges still to come but we're doing our best and we reckon it's worth a visit for sure ;)

JOSH!

The Blueberry Bossman.

Knows the field like the back of his hand and has become the expert round here in knowing how our old plants behave and how to get the best out of them.

To get in touch with him for anything Blueberry related, please email:

josh@brothersfarm.co.uk

DAN!

The Flower Brother really but also the boring admin one too!

Sure, he knows his Bluebs from his apples but really your main man is Josh on this front ;)

To get in touch with Dan please email:

dan@brothersfarm.co.uk

LOUIS!

All round make it happen'er.

Farmer / Weeder / Digger / Sower / Irrigation'er / Grass Cutter / Hedger / Strimmer'er / Raker / Pruner / Barista & best of all Smiley Facer! :)

THE HARVEST TEAM!

Each summer we employ a team of dedicated Blueberry pickers & packers through July & August.

It's a full-time summer holiday job that requires committed, hard-working folk that have a good sense of humour and are keen to work hard.

We take on anyone from 16years+ so if you are interested in applying then email Josh to introduce yourself along with a CV to:

THE MRS B’S! Sending out some HUGE pre-Blueberry season appreciation to the makers of all things blueberry cakey here at Bros Farm!

Amazing skills mates - you’re rocking it like GLASTO! MEGA-KNUX 👊👊🏻👊🏽👊🏾👊🏿👊 #coffeeandcakeinaflowerfield #dreamteam

NEW BLUEB WEBSITE :) So it’s good to update things every now and again and include some new things! www.trehaneblueberrypyo.co.uk And in there somewhere is a RECIPE page including how to make all our cakes and what we all need right now - the FROZEN BLUEBSTER! These won’t be ready at ours until PYO season but if you fancy making some yourself then it’s dead easy, dead tasty and dead HEALTHY too! The magic ingredient is of course our frozen Bluebs and we’ve got half a freezer left before they run out until July so if you fancy some then come on over: Thurs / Fri / Sat / Sun 10-1pm And pick some up ! Oh and whilst you’re here you may as well enjoy a coffee (or ice coffee?!) in the Flower Field too :) 🤟👍🏾🤘🏼🤟🏿👊 #healthyrecipes #organicblueberries #blueberryfarm #sogoodforyou #wimborne #dorset

Huge thanks to our main man Roy @smallholding_groundcare for helping us with this epic task & the first of many big barn tasks fingers crossed… None of it would have happened though without the guidance of D&T @eckfordchong, so huge thanks to you both and looking forward to more exciting things in the year to come with you guys too 👊 #jobsagoodun #phaseonecomplete

FEBRUARY ROCKING ON! Thankyou @spillthebeanswimb for asking Becca to hang some dried flower shizzle in your amazing & famous Wimborne health food shop! If we can be here as long as you have been there doing great things then we will be very proud! 👊 Meanwhile on the farm, Flower Barn roof progress is cracking on and very nearly halfway …. though we’ll be definitely be going back to spill the beans for some back easing remedies when it’s done! Oh and yep JB and Louis STILL pruning away… at least though in the SUNSHINE!! #doingit

IT HAS BEGUN! So we’ve been hard at it this week on something not done before - a new roof for the barn! Learning a lots of stuff right now and brain is pretty full but so far so good and more nice weather would be appreciated please!

LATERS JANUARY… Been a fairly tough month to start the year with but we’re nearly through it and there’s some exciting things to look forward to coming up! The lads are still pruning the bluebs and aiming to be done by March(?!) not sure how they managed to carry on the last few weeks but they did… In the flower field the soil has just thawed out so looking forward to getting some new plants in to the new beds :) In the workshop Becca has been making something exciting for installing later this week… And there was a trip to Bristol for the @flowersfromthefarm 2023 Conference which was a great way to end Jan and look forward to the year ahead! ….Starting with something at height! #januarybluebs #newchallenges #getyourroofon

RAIN RAIN SUN RAIN! And then a bit of Friday sun to end the week :) Lots of work getting done here despite the sogginess…. Blueberry pruning obvs, chopping back and planting out in the flowers, clearing and moving plants, soil association inspections, loads of repairs and leaks to fix plus some exciting planning for an unusual February…. :) Ideally we’re getting all the rain out of the way before then… we’ll see?! #gettingitdone #blueberryfarm #flowerfarm #soggy #reallysoggy
