Farming Friday Β· Every Week
A working Friday on the land.
Step into the rhythm of the land and become part of the team β not a demonstration, but the real thing, working alongside our farmers on the tasks that need doing that day.
about the day
Not a demonstration β the real thing.
Farming Friday is your chance to step into the rhythm of the land and become part of the team. It's not a demonstration β it's the real thing. You'll be working alongside our farmers on meaningful tasks that need doing that day.
From planting out the next crop to feeding the animals or prepping the veg for the farm shop, it's a hands-on day designed for anyone who wants a deeper connection with their food and the land it comes from.
Expect mud, muscle, and plenty of moments that remind you what really matters. Get stuck in, get your hands in the soil, and help make real food happen.
