Community Farming Festival Day

Join us for a fun-filled day celebrating local fruit and veg! Whether you're a green thumb or just here for the food!, there's something for everyone. Expect hands-on activities, tasty lunch from the land, and loads of chances to connect with fellow community members. Bring your friends, your kids, your smile, and get ready to dig into some awesome outdoor fun! Can't wait to see you there!

We have the farm marquee, picnic benches and facilities that will allow us to host this event and we are grateful for the funding from Wiltshire Area Board and the support of Climate Friendly Bradford that has enabled these events to happen.

Activities will be;

• A guided walk through our productive nature friendly farm

• Community feast

• Learning how we grow no dig and min-till vegetables in our market garden, with activities such a putting up the trellis for the beans and preparing a veg bed and planting out the seedlings or direct sowing

• We can also spend some time in the Orchard looking at the holistic approach as it will be just after fruit set it will be the prefect point to thin the fruit and look at what else is happing in the tree, i.e. the orchard ecosystem.

The event is open to all and we are designing the day to be family friendly. Through our team of qualified co-ordinators and volunteers we will offer individuals the opportunity to set their own pace whilst enjoying this earthy experience. Both qualified Well-being and child care specialists will be present and part of the farm team on the day as well as skilled growers and chefs cooking us delicious treats. We are aiming to have a tailored activity to suit most ages and abilities. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions, my email is [email protected]

The day will likely follow our routine pattern of;

• 9.15am arrive

• 9.30am cuppa and catch-up, in this case it will be ‘Welcome and Introduction’, If people wish we could then take a little tour around the farm

• 10.30am morning activity

• 12.30pm lunch ( will be based on vegetables grown from the farm by our skilled chefs and volunteers)

• 1.30pm afternoon activity

• 3.30pm tea and coming together for end of day and reflection
