Farming Friday
Get stuck in. Get your hands in the soil. And help make real food happen.
Farming Friday is your chance to step into the rhythm of the land and become part of the team. It’s not a demonstration—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 animals or prepping the veg for the farm shop, it’s a hands-on experience designed for those who want 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.
