Stewards of Rushmere

Become a steward

Stewardship is shared responsibility for the land; seasonal, practical involvement that builds on our proven success as productive, profitable organic farmers. It invites people back into the farming system to learn how food is grown alongside nature, to contribute to biodiversity and soil health, and to belong to a community. See brochure here.

Stewards Gatherings

Throughout the year we host tours, workshops, volunteering days and seasonal stewardship gatherings that bring people straight into the life of the farm. At the centre of it all is Wild Rogues, our summer week in the fields and woods, when the farm is at its most abundant and the community comes alive. It is practical, fun and unforgettable. Across the year there are harvest moments, woodland work days, walks and talks, field conversations, shared meals, music in the woods and the occasional proper party to mark what we have achieved. Some gatherings involve real, hands-on work. Others are about learning, meeting people and enjoying the place. Children are welcome. Curiosity is enough. These are events on us. They are welcoming and rooted in the farming calendar. You can come to volunteer, to learn, to celebrate, or simply to spend time somewhere beautiful. However you join in, stewardship gatherings are where the farm stops being something you visit and becomes something you are part of.
