Volunteer With Us

Feel like you would like to learn more about food cultivation, forest gardening, low-impact living, or any other topics previously mentioned?

We offer two ways you can get involved with us:

WWOOF’ing – We currently offer two places for volunteers to stay with us for between 1-6 months to become an integral part of the team here. Ideally we would like support from June – October. You will be offered shared accommodation in our beautiful yurt, access to the facilities here and will be given fresh, organic whole foods to cook with us.

If you would like to volunteer with us, please see our listing at this link and get in touch: https://wwoof.org.uk/user/68218

Day Volunteering – Alternatively, if you live locally, you can join us for our volunteer days, every Wednesday from 10am-5pm (drop in sessions, 3 hours minimum please). We include a big hearty organic vegetarian lunch for your efforts, and a day full of sharing knowledge and practical experience.

If you are interested in getting involved with us, but cannot make the above commitments, please feel free via email ([email protected]) to get in touch and we can see if other arrangements can be met.

See you soon!
