About Churchtown Farm

Churchtown Farm is a small family farm based on the remote and beautiful island of St. Martin's in the Isles of Scilly - 28 miles west of Land's End.

We specialise in growing scented flowers which we are able to do outdoors, all year round thanks to our climate. Our winter crop is Scented Narcissi which are unique to these islands, whilst in the summer we grow superior Show Pinks.

We sell all of our flowers as gifts by post, sending them all over the UK by 1st Class Royal Mail.

Working at Churchtown Farm

At Churchtown Farm we have a year round mixture of permanent, part time and seasonal staff. Some staff are locals with their own accommodation, whilst the remainder live in accommodation that we provide here on the farm.

Most seasonal staff come to us for around 6 months starting in either the spring or autumn (although there are always exceptions!). However, over the years many of our seasonal staff have enjoyed living and working on St. Martin's so much that they have extended their contracts for a year or more.

Staff roles typically fall into varying mixtures of the following areas:

1. 'Outside' i.e. A daily variety of jobs working on our farm.
2. 'Shed' i.e. Working inside, tying and packing our postal flowers and associated jobs.
3. 'Office' i.e. Talking directly with our customers on the phone and other office based tasks. English as a first language is essential in this area as is excellent written English.

We try to make sure that all our staff have the opportunity to work in as many areas of the business as possible, in order to increase interest and enable them to talk knowledgeably to our customers.
