Vegetable Grower

Join our team here at Ardross as a vegetable grower

🌾 This isn’t your average job.
If you’re looking for an easy nine-to-five, this probably isn’t for you. Growing vegetables with us means early starts, long days, and working outside in all weathers — rain, shine, wind and everything in between. It’s hard graft, but it’s also incredibly rewarding.

You’ll spend your days surrounded by big skies, sea views and fresh air, watching the seasons change and seeing the fruits of your labour go straight from field to shop. For the right person, it’s a job that feels meaningful, satisfying, and deeply connected to the land.
