VOLUNTEER
Find out how to can take part in our Project Crops not Shops, get your hands in the earth, learn to heal with herbs from the land, and experience living in community.
Whilst Volunteering on the land we ask that everyone come expectation free, we aim to utilise your skills and expertise where possible, but also are able to support you in learning new skills along the way too!
A can do attitude is most appreciated, this project has huge potential to cause ripples that will impact the future generations. You are all valued for your contribution whether you are cleaning, delivering typing, sowing or building. We know that without the hard work and commitment of our volunteers we wouldn't be able to create as big of an impact, we are grateful to and for you xx

Thinking about joining us for longer?
We get asked about people living on the land for longer periods of time (more than you might think!) We have a handful people on the land referred to as the 'core team' who deal with the project in the winter/autumn months, but there is no room at present for more core team members.
We also have a few 'seasonal volunteers' who are here working the land for the duration of the summer.
When you are volunteering with us we can only guarantee a two week slot, we can extend that every fortnight if we have enough work to offer. We'd love to welcome everybody, but unfortunately, the land and the projects resources can only hold so many volunteers at any one time.
