Help plant 2,000 strawberries in this bonanza strawberry weekend!

Training level: Beginner
Event details:

Strawberries, we have a feeling, are going to be one of our favourite crops on the Farm. We have grown them commercially before,  learnt many lessons and have a number of ready markets willing to buy all we can grow.

To be harvesting fruit for as long a period as possible we have selected 2 earlies, 2 mid and one late varieties: Honeoye, Christine, Eros, Renaissance & Malwina.

We've ordered 4,000 plants and to get a harvest this summer from them, we need to get them in the ground as quickly as possible. We are therefore asking as many people as possible to come and help out.

Days will run from 9.30am - 4pm and it's a great opportunity to get to know Kindling Farm and some of your fellow farm members a bit better. We will provide refreshments, a delicious hearty soup and good company!

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

If you have any problems, please email farm@kindling.org.uk
