The small, car-free island of Sark in the Channel Islands is looking for a new dairy farmer to help with its farming — but in order to qualify for the job, the successful applicant must bring their own cows along with them.
Sark is home to around 400 people who have been relying on imported milk for more than a year, but now want to swap back to locally-sourced produce, including milk, cream and cheese.

The successful applicant needs to have a wealth of farming experience and be able to manage their own business. “We need people with dairy farming experience. Ideally, a couple who are wanting to develop a new business,” explains Richard Axton, organiser of the Sark community dairy, in a BBC video report.
The production of milk, cream and cheese on Sark would benefit local businesses who came to rely on the products when they were being made on the island. A Sark chocolate-maker, for example, needs the unique flavour of Sark cream to satisfy her recipe.
