Careers at Sutton Community Farm

Sutton Community Farm

Sutton Community Farm is London's only community owned fruit and veg farm, growing more than 15 tonnes of fresh food every year and delivering fruit and veg to 450+ households on a weekly basis. Our business model supports the livelihoods of many other organic farmers through trade, and our online farm shop delivers fresh organic food across south London.

We offer training opportunities to budding farmers and food growers, and have links to the local community through our Veg for Charity initiative. Having a positive social and environmental impact is core to our mission, alongside providing opportunities for local people, and supplying nature-friendly food to many homes across the city.

Each week we welcome up to 80 local volunteers to get involved in all areas of farm activities. All aspects of the farm – our ownership, labour force, and beneficiaries – are embedded in the community.
