Description
This is an organic farm run by around 30 of us (plus children). We live in different households that have been adapted from a Georgian manor house and other outbuildings. We garden and farm a large area of land and run occasional events such as singing workshops, yoga etc.
We are not a commercial enterprise. We work together to produce a significant amount of our own food including meat, milk, eggs, fruit and vegetables.
Land includes pasture (for dairy cows, sheep, goats, chickens and sometimes pigs and geese), arable fields (producing feed for our animals as well as ourselves), a walled vegetable garden, greenhouse and polytunnels, orchard, a small area of woodland and a lake and garden. We welcome help with all jobs around the place- with the animals, gardening or on the grounds and buildings.
We generally host up to 3 volunteers for two weeks at a time. We do this about once a month from late spring through to the autumn.
We usually ask for 5 hours help per day with 2 full days off each week.
