Farm Tour of the Trees
If you’re curious to learn more about us – and especially about why we planted so many trees – come along to our farm tour on Sunday 1st February.
Farming with trees (‘agroforestry’) was once commonplace, and nearly got swept away by large scale industrial agriculture and monocrop growing. We will share how we are reviving it here at Lauriston Farm, with all the hope and excitement this brings.

The farm tour will take in the:
- Community Orchard
- Woodland re-planting area
- Agroforestry alleys (lines of trees that create sheltered and stable space to grow other crops, as well as bringing crops of fruits and nuts themselves)+ then all return to the Community Kitchen for soup, bread and chat
Who is This For?
We welcome all curious visitors, including total newcomers with no previous knowledge about farming or trees, as well as farmers and growers and anyone interested in a career or volunteering in this type of work. The tour is aimed at adults or interested young people (the free event in the afternoon is more suited to children).
If you want to make a day of it, stay for the Orchard Wassailing in the afternoon
Accessibility Notes
This is a walking tour across the farm, lasting around 1.5hrs, potentially also suitable for all terrain/off road wheelchairs or mobility scooters, but probably not standard wheelchairs. The ground is rough, and will be wet and muddy in parts.
