**Farm based in a bright, modern shed workspace north of Brecon at LD2 3HU.**
**£13/hr to start**
Welsh Lavender Ltd grows and distils lavender, a key ingredient in our skin care range called FARMERS’. Products are made on the farm and in North Wales. All products are filled and labelled on the farm before being dispatched to retail stockists and customers around the world. All operations are managed from the stylish, modern workspace on the farm.
The farm is a tourist destination for hundreds of visitors every year. They come to see how lavender is grown and distilled, swim in the wild swimming pond, shop in our carefully curated farm shop and enjoy refreshments in our informal café.
As well as the farm shop we have a flagship store in nearby Hay-on-Wye which sits next to our holiday let, Tredegar House. We also offer glamping accommodation on the farm in our smartly renovated truck, Pantechnicon Powys.
This is an eclectic job for a highly motivated, multi skilled person who would like to join a
small team of friendly people who work closely together high on our Welsh hillside. The
range of duties is wide. Priorities often shift from handling a large group of visitors to packing up an order for The Savoy Hotel.
