Has 2020 got you feeling stuck indoors? Fancy a change of scenery?
Do you feel like you want give back to your local community?
Lost hours at work? or maybe even your job?
Finally we have something to look forward to in 2020…
Farm Fridays are not only back, but they are back EVERY SINGLE week!
Whatever your reason, we need your help!
Starting in October you are welcome to join us every Friday from 10am – 4pm for a day at the farm.
Whether its improving our trails, repairing fences or even larger projects like constructing roundhouses and straw bale buildings, your input will make a huge impact on our community farm, and hopefully we will have an impact on you!
No experience is necessary, just a great sense of humour and a willingness to get stuck in.
Farm Fridays welcome volunteers of all ages, young and old. Youth unemployment for under 25’s in particular is expected to rise after the COVID-19 pandemic. Farm Fridays is a great way to boost your CV by adding practical skills and closing the dreaded CV gaps! Not only can it give you a career boost but by working as part of a team, it’s a great way to improve give your confidence a boost as well as your social skills.
Whatever the weather, we’re here on the farm and are always looking for new Volunteers.
We have several tea breaks throughout the day and even a discount in the farm shop and café for lunch if you wish!
Booking is currently essential and numbers are limited to suit all current government guidelines.
10am – 4pm, bring your own lunch.

This welcoming new activity is designed to help anyone who would like to get out and connect with others in a safe, socially-distanced environment. We will start with a relaxing walk followed by free tea and cake and then a simple craft session.
You can take part in just the walk or the crafts, or stay for the whole session. The walk will start at 2pm (meet outside the cafe), while the crafts will begin at 3pm in the Greenwood Shelter. There is no need to book – just turn up on the day.
All materials will be provided and there is no charge for the activities. Just come dressed for the weather! The cake and craft session will take place undercover in the outdoor Greenwood shelter.
All Coronavirus precautions will be put in place, including appropriate sanitising and social distancing measures.

Would you like to make a positive difference? Join us for a weekend of volunteering on Fordhall Farm. Surrounded by beautiful Shropshire countryside, you’ll be working to support our community projects or improving the environment. This weekend we plan to focus on environmental work by tree planting and continuing restorative works at the Three Ponds.
You will receive all your food, and will have the opportunity to meet like-minded people, learn new skills and experience life at our welcoming farm. Due to COVID-19 most participants will be for day sessions, but there is very limited accommodation in our lovely eco-friendly Straw Lodge if required on a first come first served basis.
We need people with all different skills – whatever you are skilled in, we need you!
The weekend begins at 9.45am on Saturday until 4pm on Sunday.
Booking is essential and early booking is advised to avoid disappointment. Email mike.grabarz@fordhallfarm.com to secure your place or for more info.
