Volunteering
There are various opportunities to get involved, mostly on the market garden which requires lots of by-hand labour. There are also opportunities to get involved with habitat creation and conservation as well as on grain and pulse production. If you would like to be regularly involved and engage in the whole system you may be interested in joining our stewardship scheme through which we are able to dedicate time to teaching and supporting you towards being a decision maker within the ecosystem.
Market Garden
Community Volunteer Day on the market garden is every Wednesday 10am – 3pm. There are other opportunities to volunteer through the week though it us definitely best if you can come to a Wednesday session first, meet our team, learn the ropes and get the lay of the land.
Wild Rogues
In late June, in the lull before harvest we will host a group of volunteers on the farm for 5 days, to help us with arable and vegetable weeding, a necessary part of farming without chemicals. There will be a few hours of hard work every day, but plenty of time to enjoy the rich wildlife and learn about growing organic, grain, pulse and vegetable growing. Find out more here.
Workshops Without Borders
Coming back soon...
If you would like to help out on the last Friday of every month please get in touch and come along. We will be doing woodworking and forestry with a group of Refugees from the Portsmouth area, and it is a great opportunity to chat to amazing people from all over the world. You can help just by chatting, and making everyone feel at home, and if you don't have woodworking or cooking experience don't worry. Tea and coffee making, and washing up skills are a must. Book in here.
Please get in touch if you want to come and help out on the farm at any other time than those specified above. There's always lots to do; plant trees, count bees, get grubby knees...
