🌿🐐 We’re Hiring – and yes, it involves goats! 🐷🌾

Do you have the patience of a saint, the sense of humour of a farmer in the rain, and the ability to find joy in muddy boots and braying donkeys?

Apple Tree Farm Services CIC is on the lookout for a Therapeutic Farm Practitioner – part farmer, part teacher, part emotional support human for our lovely herd (and the animals too 😉).

If you can help children and young people grow in confidence, wrangle a wheelbarrow, and keep smiling when a goat steals your lunch… we want to hear from you!

💚 What’s in it for you?
• Work that genuinely changes lives (and occasionally forces you to change your shoes).
• A team that’s as supportive as our donkeys are stubborn.
• The chance to call “feeding pigs” a job responsibility.

📍 Based in beautiful North Devon
💌 Apply by emailing: contact@appletreefarmservices.co.uk

Join us at Apple Tree Farm – where we nurture, grow, and occasionally get chased by sheep. 🐑

The level of micromanagement some of us are exposed to around here reaches a new level. 👀 Some of us are actually working but Panda cat takes it upon himself to double check. 😼 Meanwhile, we haven’t seen him catch a pest in a long while but no one is looking over his shoulder. 🐀🙄

🌧️ When opportunity knocks and our to-do list is finally empty (like this is ever a real possibility 🙄), it’s time to tackle the jobs we usually pretend don’t exist. Today’s mission? A deep, deep clean of the yard area! 🧼💪

This creates the ideal environment for the ducks, who were happily yapping away at the extra mud created, and it’s also the perfect chance to put our waterproofs through their biannual survival test—because there’s no better “ready for winter” test than sitting in puddles while dodging actual work. But let’s be real, some of us are just sitting on the job. Literally! 🪑😂 So if you see us, just know we’re conducting “important research” on the ergonomics of clean yard floors. 🍃

Today, in our quest to expand our network and collaborate with like-minded organisations, some of our team decided to venture off-site (we think someone informed the management… 🤷‍♀️). They made their way to where they were greeted with open arms and lots of enthusiasm. Exciting plans quickly brewed—possibly involving animals. Sheep? 🐑 Cows? 🐮 We can’t say too much, or our legal team might start bleating in despair! 👨‍⚖️ it definitely involves sheep. 😅🤐

🚨 Farm Alert: A rebellion is brewing! 🚨

Tensions are high as one of our young leaders presented a compelling case for bringing highland cows to the farm—maybe two, since they need companionship! 🐄✨ They even created a stunning video to share their vision with the team and peers.

What do you think? Should we embrace this coup and welcome some highland cows? Tune in later when we will share that presentation with you for your consideration!

Who we are

A care farm in North Devon offering day opportunities for children and adults with learning difficulties, special educational needs and disabilities. An accessible farm area with a variety of animals and the opportunity to engage in fantastic animal-assisted therapy practices. Home of the Pippin Alpaca herd of alpacas, the Ouessant of Devon sheep flock and a whole host of other animals, including Richard the Swiss Valais Blacknose wether, Brian the disabled Suffolk x wether and Kevin the peacock and his ready made family (shout out to all #theKeviners out there).
