SUMMARY:Seed Patch Volunteering
DESCRIPTION:The farm produces a lot of its own seed because we know from experience that if we produce our seed well\, it makes for way healthier plants than anything we buy. Seed learns to adapt to our soil and climate. Saving seed is a crucial part of food sovereignty\, and that means taking care of this year’s crop. Year-on-year\, we produce more seed and hopefully get better at it! We could do with some extra hands on Friday mornings to help us grow and care for our seed crops. \nIf you’d like to help with the crops that we are growing to save the seeds\, sign up here: https://volunteersignup.org/L73WY \n  \nWho Is This For?\nYou don’t need previous experience. For this session\, you do need to be fairly steady on your feet and have a bit of stamina for walking. We supply gloves and any tools. Under 16s welcome\, accompanied by an adult. \n  \nAccess Notes & Directions\nWe will be outdoors working on the seed beds in the market garden. Please dress for windy north Edinburgh. There will be quite a bit of walking on rough grassy ground\, and bending over to weed etc. No heavy lifting. The market garden is on the west side of the farm\, near Cramond Road South. You can come in from Cramond Road/Barnton Gardens on foot or bike\, but not by car. You can also walk or cycle across the farm from the Silverknowes side (approx 15-20 minute walk). \nIf you’re arriving by bike\, please don’t turn right off Cramond Road South/Barnton Gardens – it’s a dangerous corner. Keep going to the roundabout and go around it to get a safe left turn into the farm. \n

SUMMARY:Market Garden Volunteering
DESCRIPTION:Join us to help out in the Market Garden\, and experience veg growing at a large scale \nVolunteer Sign up here: https://volunteersignup.org/Y3KTB \nIt’s a two-hour session\, starting at 10am. Please try to arrive on time as we explain and set up all the tasks at the beginning. \nWe’ll share a coffee and biscuit after\, or you can bring your lunch to enjoy in the gardens. \nNewcomers and auld hands are all very welcome. You don’t need any specific knowledge or skills to volunteer in the Market Garden. You do need some energy and to be fairly steady on your feet. Market Garden volunteering sessions can involve quite a bit of walking and physical activity. The tasks are usually ‘big jobs’ where many hands make light work (eg. weeding\, wheelbarrowing woodchip for paths\, planting a big area with transplants). \nIf you’re worried about your body’s stamina or mobility\, you might prefer to start with the Community Garden drop-in sessions instead. \nBut we don’t ask anyone to go beyond their limits for any task\, and you can always take breaks or rotate between jobs. You are welcome to use this as a way to help you build up your fitness. If you are not sure if it’s right for you\, please contact us with any questions. Otherwise\, sign up and we’ll see you there!

SUMMARY:Tentative Dates: Harvesting the Rye
DESCRIPTION:If you would like to help harvest the rye\, please save these dates. We will need many hands. We will be able to confirm the dates and times closer to the time as we keep a close eye on the ripening of the grain and the weather. We will be taking to the field for the harvest\, possibly with some scissors(!) but also maybe with some mechanical scything. Only trained folk can operate the scythe\, but we will need people to pick up and bundle the sheaves of rye. No signup sheet yet – we’ll keep you posted. \n  \nWho Is This For?\nYou don’t need previous experience. For this session\, you do need to be fairly steady on your feet and have a bit of stamina for walking. We supply gloves and any tools. Under 16s welcome\, accompanied by an adult. \n  \nAccess Notes & Directions\nWe will be outdoors working in the agroforestry alley where the rye is growing (within the market garden fenced area). There will be quite a bit of walking on rough grassy ground\, and bending over to pick up the harvest. No heavy lifting. The market garden is on the west side of the farm\, near Cramond Road South. You can come in from Cramond Road/Barnton Gardens on foot or bike\, but not by car. You can also walk or cycle across the farm from the east side (approx 15-20 minute walk). \nPlease dress for windy north Edinburgh. \nThere is a spacious\, single cubicle\, level access\, gender-neutral composting toilet in the market garden. \nIf you’re arriving by bike\, please don’t turn right off Cramond Road South/Barnton Gardens – it’s a dangerous corner.

No signup sheet yet – we’ll keep you posted. \n  \nWho Is This For?\nYou don’t need previous experience. For this session\, you do need to be fairly steady on your feet and have a bit of stamina for walking. We supply gloves and any tools. Under 16s welcome\, accompanied by an adult. \n  \nAccess Notes & Directions\nWe will be outdoors working in the agroforestry alley where the rye is growing (within the market garden fenced area). There will be quite a bit of walking on rough grassy ground\, and bending over to pick up the harvest. No heavy lifting. The market garden is on the west side of the farm\, near Cramond Road South. You can come in from Cramond Road/Barnton Gardens on foot or bike\, but not by car. You can also walk or cycle across the farm from the east side (approx 15-20 minute walk). \nPlease dress for windy north Edinburgh. \nThere is a spacious\, single cubicle\, level access\, gender-neutral composting toilet in the market garden. \nIf you’re arriving by bike\, please don’t turn right off Cramond Road South/Barnton Gardens – it’s a dangerous corner. Travel 50m onwards and go around the roundabout so you can get a safe left turn into the farm.

SUMMARY:Seed Patch Volunteering
DESCRIPTION:The farm produces a lot of its own seed because we know from experience that if we produce our seed well\, it makes for way healthier plants than anything we buy. Seed learns to adapt to our soil and climate. Saving seed is a crucial part of food sovereignty\, and that means taking care of this year’s crop. Year-on-year\, we produce more seed and hopefully get better at it! We could do with some extra hands on Friday mornings to help us grow and care for our seed crops. \nIf you’d like to help with the crops that we are growing to save the seeds\, sign up here: https://volunteersignup.org/L73WY \n  \nWho Is This For?\nYou don’t need previous experience. For this session\, you do need to be fairly steady on your feet and have a bit of stamina for walking. We supply gloves and any tools. Under 16s welcome\, accompanied by an adult. \n  \nAccess Notes & Directions\nWe will be outdoors working on the seed beds in the market garden. Please dress for windy north Edinburgh. There will be quite a bit of walking on rough grassy ground\, and bending over to weed etc. No heavy lifting. The market garden is on the west side of the farm\, near Cramond Road South. You can come in from Cramond Road/Barnton Gardens on foot or bike\, but not by car. You can also walk or cycle across the farm from the Silverknowes side (approx 15-20 minute walk). \nIf you’re arriving by bike\, please don’t turn right off Cramond Road South/Barnton Gardens – it’s a dangerous corner. Keep going to the roundabout and go around it to get a safe left turn into the farm. \n
