We’re recruiting for our programme starting at the end of January 2022.
Through our EU & Cornwall Council funded project we are offering supported placements to come and learn a range of practical food-related skills here on the farm; from plant-to-plate! We will help you to develop the ‘work-ready’ qualities employers are looking for and we can assist with applications for work or college. No fees, no previous experience necessary, full training will be given by our super-friendly Tutors. Support with childcare and travel may be possible. Call us for details!

“Everything here was new to me. I’m getting more confident about facing challenges. I’m learning a lot. I’m proud of myself.”
“I’m learning that it’s not the be-all and end-all if something goes wrong; it’s more about how you’re going to fix it.”
