Join our brand-new, state-of-the-art dairy unit and play a hands-on role in developing our growing herd of water buffalo, currently milking 70 and expanding year on year. This is a unique opportunity to work within a progressive, regenerative mixed farming estate where all milk is crafted into exceptional products by our in-house cheesemakers. With cutting-edge facilities including robotic feed pushers, automatic calf feeders, modern machinery and a brand-new rotary parlour launching in October, you’ll be at the heart of an innovative and ambitious farming operation. Working within a close-knit dairy team and reporting to the Dairy Manager and Farm Manager, you’ll contribute to a wider estate that connects farming directly to our farm shop, ecommerce, restaurants and hotel.
