Hampshire Market Garden is a not-for-profit social enterprise that is working to show the world that healthy soil can protect our future. From food security to climate resilience, we will demonstrate that caring for what lies beneath our feet is the key to a sustainable future.
We grow organic veg on a beautiful two acre site in the South Downs National Park with a focus on soil health, educating communities on how important it is, and collaborating with farmers, organisations, and policymakers to drive change and promote sustainable land stewardship.
We are offering some exciting new volunteering opportunities to people who want to come and be part of the new food revolution!
Once our veg is harvested and ready, we need some help getting it out to food banks, local pantries and our customers. We are looking for local people, who are passionate about food, to drop the veg to various places around Hampshire.
