\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re curious to learn more about Lauriston Agroecology Farm \u2013 and especially about why we planted so many trees \u2013 come along to our farm tour on Sunday 1st February.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Farming with trees (\u2018agroforestry\u2019) was once commonplace, and nearly got swept away by large scale industrial agriculture and monocrop growing. We will share how we are reviving it here at Lauriston Farm, with all the hope and excitement this brings.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll hear from the folk who look after the trees on the farm \u2013 sharing what we\u2019ve done, why we\u2019ve done it, and what we\u2019ve learned so far + then all return to the Community Kitchen for soup, bread and chat from 1pm-2pm.<\/p>\n

(If you want to make a day of it, please stay on for the Orchard Wassailing in the afternoon)<\/p>\n

Who is This For?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We welcome all curious visitors, including total newcomers with no previous knowledge about farming or trees, as well as farmers and growers and anyone interested in a career or volunteering in this type of work. The tour is aimed at adults or interested young people (the free event in the afternoon is more suited to children).<\/p>\n

Accessibility Notes<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a walking tour across the farm, lasting around 1.5hrs, potentially also suitable for all terrain\/off road wheelchairs or mobility scooters, but probably not standard wheelchairs. The ground is rough, and will be wet and muddy in parts. We will be in groups of 15-20 people. <\/p>\n

Please contact us if you have any accessibility questions or requests<\/p>\n
