At A C Goatham, you’ll be part of a forward-thinking, family-founded business that values its people as much as its produce. We offer a supportive and inclusive working environment where teamwork, respect and development are at the core of our culture. With opportunities across our orchards, packhouse and offices, we provide varied career paths, ongoing training and the chance to grow within a leading UK fresh produce company.

We are committed to high standards of safety, quality and sustainability, and we take pride in recognising hard work and dedication. Whether you join us on a seasonal basis or as a permanent team member, you’ll play an important role in delivering exceptional British produce while being supported to succeed and thrive in your career.

I’ve worked on the Farm for nine years, and it’s been an incredible journey. The trust and freedom we’re given helps to create a supportive environment built on teamwork and pride in what we do. It’s rewarding to know our efforts produce some of the finest apples and pears in the UK, and the company goes the extra mile to support the local community with experiences like tractor runs, Biddenden Tractor Fest, and school talks. I’m truly proud to be part of it.

Working at ACG has been fantastic. It’s a relaxed, supportive environment where you’re truly valued and appreciated. I’ve gained great experience as a driver and even been trained to operate a forklift. It’s rare to find a company that makes you enjoy coming to work every day — but ACG does exactly that.
