"To go in the dark with a light is to know the light.
To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight,
and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings,
and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings."

To Know the Dark, by Wendell Berry

We will prepare for Chanukah and the winter solstice with a cosy potluck dinner, singing, learning about jewish approaches to winter and darkness, and being with the dark and candle light.

Absolutely all welcome, no prior experience with judaism assumed.

Access:
- Step free access and an accessible toilet.
- Space to lie down and rest before, during and after.
- Please take a Covid test before you come. If you're feeling unwell with anything potentially infectious please stay home and join us another time when you feel better! Refunds available.

As we shift gears towards winter, we've been worki As we shift gears towards winter, we've been working on making a hazel fence around the chicken coup - so the chickens (and our new ducks!) can run around outside without making a mess of the veg beds. 

We have a great hazel copse onsite which produces straight flexible branches which are perfect for weaving. 

We harvest just enough to encourage healthy growth in the woodland, and use the leftovers for firewood to heat the Volunteer Kitchen.

🌷 Come down to this farm to see it yourself this Sunday, at our bulb planting volunteer day 🌷

Bonus points if you can guess who's weaved which section!

What a DREAM TEAM we had this volunteer day!! We s What a DREAM TEAM we had this volunteer day!! We smashed out soooo much work. 

We obliterated the leaves that had covered the site in the week since the fellowship ended (we miss you fellows!!) and moved them to use as mulch in the winter and leaf mould to plant our spring seedlings in. 

We did lots of path clearing to keep our site accessible, did vital tree management in our meadow and picked the final apples and pears left on our trees :’) And finally we feasted on an absolutely sumptuous potluck lunch. Phewwww
