Employees can expect a friendly environment in the heart of the Kent countryside. The farm is set in a rural location 10 minutes walk from the town of West Malling where there are supermarkets, pubs and restaurants. In the town you will also find a library. There is also a mainline railway station direct to London, which is an hour away. Three stops in the other direction is Maidstone which is the County town of Kent, where there are nightclubs and a busy town centre for shopping.

Always a great place to work, with good people to work with.
