Verified: 2026-06-29

In short

Real diversified farm in Herefordshire (Ross-on-Wye) with a large seasonal intake — 250+ people and its own camp. We found no direct reports of violations, but the region and model are the same as neighbouring Haygrove (where sector complaints exist) — check conditions and get everything in writing. Which licensed operator-sponsor handles recruitment is not publicly stated: check with the farm and apply only through a licensed Seasonal Worker operator (their list is in our operator directory). No one should charge you for a CoS or a job — that is fraud.
