In short

A family berry farm on the coast near Arbroath: strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and blueberries across two sites — in Angus and in Perthshire. Seasonal workers live in caravans on the farm itself. The farm publishes no hiring terms: no rates, no season dates, no operator in open sources, and the vacancies page sits behind a password. The farm itself is not on the register of licensed sponsors, so the visa is arranged by a scheme operator — apply only through a licensed one, and nobody may charge you for a CoS.

How to get onto the farm LM Porter (East Seaton Farm)

Operator not disclosed

Operator not established. The farm itself does not appear on the Home Office register of licensed sponsors (checked 24 August 2026), so the Seasonal Worker visa is arranged not by the farm but by one of the six licensed scheme operators: AGRI-HR, Concordia, Fruitful Jobs, HOPS Labour Solutions, Pro-Force, RE Recruitment. Which of them sends workers to this farm is not publicly disclosed.

⚠️

The operator chooses the farm, not you — but it helps to know where you can end up. Apply through one of the operators — they will allocate you to farms depending on demand.
