Kindling Farm Volunteer day: Sunday 10th November, 10-4pm

Come and help us prepare for the next exciting chapter of creating our agroforestry system at Kindling Farm!

Before we can plant the trees there a lot of preparation needed to move them over from our tree nursery at Glazebury. So it would be great if you could join us for a tree lifting day in Glazebury, where we will be digging up several hundred fruit trees for the farm. 

The day will include checking the health of the trees, digging them up, removing as much soil as possible to stop the transfer of pests and weed speeds, and crucially, packing them carefully for the journeys to the Kindling Farm, ready to be planted a few weeks later.

These days will involve quite physical work and the facilities are pretty basic at the Glazebury site, for example they have a rudimentary compost toilet and no running water, but we will do our best to look after you, with hot refreshments, lunch and spare warm clothes.

Days will run from 10am - 4pm and it's a great opportunity to get to know your fellow farm members a bit better - and to do something a little bit different with your day. We will provide refreshments, a delicious organic soup and good company!

If you are wanting to book for more than one person, please make sure you register them separately.
