From April, the farm will have halter technology, giving you experience with modern automated systems. You'll also have the chance to learn about organic farming systems, including how organic herds are managed and cared for, alongside dairy shed routines and animal health, with guidance and support along the way.

Health and safety are taken seriously, and you'll work in a team where people look out for each other.
