My uni friends' were too young and when they got old enough as children - child being anyone under 18 - the work didn't exist anymore.

You should have offered to buy his stock in bulk, buyer collects (from field), and put a sign up saying 'pick your own fruit/veg'. Works for strawberries and other popular fruits, so why not potatoes, carrots, cabbages, swede, ...?
Lay on some cider, some local bands and have a harvest festival. I suppose that's how Glastonbury started at Worthy Farm before it got all commercialised and only about the music.
You can use my idea in return for free tickets (and cider) for life when you become the new Michael Eavis.Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment

Also, harvesting spuds and carrots etc involves bending double and digging in the mud, whereas strawberry and other fruit picking doesn't.
If that's not enough (not wanting to sound like an old fuddy duddy, but ..) the younger generation have pretty much gone off traditional meat and two veg meals - Too much effort to cook, and too sloppy. They'd rather eat pre-packed synthetic crunchy muck.Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment
