Job description
About us
Honeydale Group incorporates two Cotswold Businesses; Cotswold Seeds Ltd and FarmED
Cotswold Seeds
We are an independent family-run company, based in Moreton-in-Marsh, that now works with over 15,000 farmers across the UK, supplying everything from green manures, cover crops and herbal leys to dual purpose long term leys and silage leys.
Established forty-four years ago by Robin Hill, Cotswold Seeds, now led by MD Ian Wilkinson, has built a reputation for specialising in bespoke seed mixtures and practical expert advice. Specifically tailored to the needs of each field, mixtures are designed to improve soil fertility, reducing the need for costly inputs and benefiting animal health.
Our experience and in-depth knowledge has meant that we are often approached to advise landowners and organisations, from the National Trust to water authorities and environmental organisations, and are increasingly involved in research and educational projects with universities and colleges.
Our small team of highly experienced technical advisors are on hand to share their specialist knowledge on a one-to-one basis. Bespoke mixtures tailored to individual requirements and our next day delivery service means you can sow within hours of talking to us.
FarmED
Our goal is to be known as the leading Centre for Farm and Food Education. We are a not-for-profit Community Interest Company.

Our mission is to provide learning spaces and events that inspire, educate, and connect people to build sustainable farming and food systems that nourish people and regenerate the planet. We run a wide range of courses and events for a diverse audience. We regularly welcome schools, farming organisations and environmental groups to the farm.
