AGM
Join Us for the Soul Farm AGM!
What is a farm without its community? Let’s all catch up, share ideas, and look to the year ahead together. Come along to our annual general meeting where you can hear all about the year we've had and have your say about the direction we take for the season ahead.
We will provide snacks and soup, and our friends at Loveday will be running a bar. Let's can feast together, share ideas and celebrate another hard won year.

Zero Waste Plant Sale
Get ready for Soul Farm’s first plant sale, and we're not doing things by halves. Everything you can buy will be zero waste and plastic free! We'll have over 40 different varieties of veg and flowers for you to grow at home. Everything from tomatoes to thyme, to sunflowers and snapdragons. No more flimsy plastic plant pots or seedling trays, all our plants will be in biodegradable, eco-friendly containers that won’t clutter your garden, leach any chemicals into the soil, or cost the Earth. And of course, in the only way we know how, everything is grown organically.
Our growers will be there at the stall over both days, so it’s a great chance to ask questions and get advice on what will thrive in your garden.
Alongside our plant sale, The Food Barn is hosting its Big Weekend! Think fun for all the family - across the weekend, you will find a full produce market with Food Barn traders and guest stalls, seasonal crafts, hot food, music, and games. It is a brilliant chance to shop directly from local producers, enjoy great food, and spend time with the community.

You may want to grow in a garden, allotment, small holding or even pots on a windowsill, this workshop will apply to all spaces and sizes.
We will take you on a comprehensive, step-by-step journey, from a cosy indoor session on planning for your space and the season ahead, to hands-on, practical on-farm sessions.
Topics covered will include:
Planning your space
Soil health and composting
