On a journey from Farm Volunteer to Farm Community Coordinator as a new recipient of a grant through the Transition Together Seed Funding programme 2024 🌿
We've started our scything every Tuesday evening at 7 pm!🌾 Come along to learn and have a go, or bring a drink and enjoy the evening sunshine and birdsong in the Orchard ☀️
Demeter certified biodynamic agriculture prioritises biodiversity by dedicating at least 10% of farmland to wild spaces and conservation and not using any herbicides or pesticides. Say no to chemical inputs and GMOs — let's work in harmony with nature! 💚
Did you know we send out a free quarterly email newsletter packed with orchard-related news, events & advice? If you'd like to benefit from this, sign up today! 👉 https://t.co/D6Hu4tbMyg
🍏🍐🍒 According to the government only 17% of fruit & 55% of vegetables eaten in the UK are produced in the UK 🥦🫛🧅
We hope the government will offer more support to #farmers managing land in new ways, with resilience in mind, during this #climatecrisis.
