Farming in Kent and the South East

Kent is famous for apples, pears, cherries and soft fruit, and it remains one of England's main hop-growing counties alongside its arable and livestock farms. West Sussex has a cluster of glasshouse and nursery businesses growing salads, peppers, herbs and ornamental plants.

Elsewhere, Hampshire, Berkshire, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire have large arable estates, while the downs support sheep and beef. Being close to London and the Channel ports also brings packhouses and food distribution businesses into the picture.

Practical considerations

Living costs in the South East are higher than in many farming regions, so weigh up whether a role includes housing or is within reach of more affordable towns. Congestion around the M25, M20 and M2 can lengthen commutes at peak times.

Fruit and horticulture businesses here often depend on seasonal teams, so managers who have recruited, trained and housed seasonal staff are valued. Make that experience clear in your CV if you have it.
