At the moment, we run a mix of informal workshops and learning opportunities throughout the year, and a ‘grow your own’ course every summer – check the events calendar for what’s coming up.

As the farm develops, we hope to be able to offer more formal and extended learning and development opportunities. We want to support more people to join the agroecological farming movement, and to revive landwork knowledge and skills in the city.

If you’d like to be kept up to date about developments in what we offer, please sign up to our newsletter (below).

Children and Young People

We don’t have enough staffing capacity to offer regular school or youth group visits. But, we want to be able to support local children and young people to experience food growing and their connection with the living world. We want to create experiences that will support real understanding. We are working on what we can offer, and also the funding and staffing arrangements to make this happen.

If you are a teacher, youth worker or club leader, please click here to fill in this form to register your interest and let us know what sort of experience you would want for your class/group – you can help us shape what we offer in future.

14-16 year olds can attend any volunteering session or the drop in gardening independently – we just need parent/guardian permission in advance.

Academic Research

We are keen to support students and academic research, but we get a lot of requests, and we’ve realised we can’t say yes to them all.

We are able to work with students/researchers who are involved with the farm in some ongoing way, or who have a proposal for a more long-term collaboration. We can’t arrange one-off interviews or visits.

If you have a proposal for a collaboration, please contact us.
