Yoga, meditation and mindful movement is available to anyone (for FREE!) every morning, 08:30 to 09:30, before the days activities, and 16:00 to 17:00 to wind down and stretch out.

Starting at 10:00, On most days we will spend a few hours out in the fields pulling out 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. Evening meals will be at 19:00.
