More detailed on daily activities:

Yoga, meditation and mindful movement is available to anyone (for FREE!) every morning, before the days activities, and every evening to wind down and stretch out.

Rogueing: Every day we will spend a few hours out in the fields pulling weeds such as wild oats from the soil. This is known as 'rogueing' and is an important part of managing arable crops. There will be lots of opportunity to learn about the growing practices and methods involved in producing organic grains and pulses, and time to enjoy being on the farm, amongst the abundance of wildlife that is here, as well as getting involved in other projects. 

Polytunnel morning: help out on the market garden with vegetable growing and composting. 

Visions Workshop: In the evening we will host a Farm & Community Workshop

Wheat to Bread Workshop

Sopa Supper in the Woods with folk music (tbc): enjoy a delicious soup from our Salvadorean friends on Thursday evening, with folk music and the rustle of leaves in the background.

Ranger Workshop: weeding, rogueing and plant dentification with the South Downs Ranger team followed by an evening of pizza making in the wood fired oven

Pizza Workshop Supper: Get involved on Friday evening with making pizzas in the wood fired oven using flour milled earlier in the week.

Cereal, fruit and oat milk will be provided for breakfast. You will be expected to provide your own picnic lunch each day, food can be bought from our growers 100m from the campsite, and from the shop in the village. 

Please feel free to arrive on the Tuesday to set up your tent in the camping field. If you would like to book a bell tent, yurt, shepherds hut or cottage please get in touch; these can all be booked by volunteers at a reduced rate.
