Lawrence Weston Community Farm is a community-managed project that aims to improve the quality of life for local people.
We do this by working with members of the local community and other groups to provide exciting and inclusive activities, as well as a safe, free, green community space. The farm wants to provide a supportive environment in which people can flourish and contribute positively to their community.
As well as providing opportunities to experience the daily delights of community farming and gardening, the farm also:
- Brings people and communities together – make new friends, volunteering and placement opportunities, activities for children and young people, a safe and secure public green space.
- Delivers education and skill development – hands on enjoyable learning opportunities, short courses, accredited training, school groups.
- Promotes environmental awareness – recycling, composting, wildlife, gardens, ponds, woodland.
- Encourages healthy eating and exercise – wholesome food, exercise through gardening and practical work, cooking events.
- Produces fresh, affordable local food – vegetables, meat, eggs.
- Supports people to grow and flourish – providing opportunities to improve mental wellbeing and health.
Tours
Farm Tours are a great way to get to know the farm and its animals, fields, woodland and orchard. The tour is delivered by an experienced member of staff. Farm tours are tailored to your class’s needs and interests, and can include focusing on where food comes from, animal care and the natural world. We will meet all of the animals and will feed and handle some of them.
