Sitopia Farm is a social enterprise: we grow food to advance social, environmental and health objectives, with profits reinvested to support our aims. We started off on two small London sites (in Hackney and in Islington) and are now expanding into a larger, more permanent site in Greenwich, South East London.

Sitopia Farm is a new social farming enterprise in Greenwich! They will be growing (using organic, regenerative techniques) vegetables, salad and flowers on 2 acres of the Wonderful Woodlands Farm and undertaking a huge range of community activities. More details about them and their crowdfunder here: https://www.spacehive.com/sitopiafarm. Their website is here: https://www.sitopiafarm.com/

They'd love help to build some new vegetable and flower beds. It's physical work - shovelling lots of compost and woodchip, but satisfying! Days are 10-4, with tea+ lunch breaks! Of course, if you can't stay the full day, that's fine - just drop Rachel an email to let me know what times you can do. I won't be there on the day but have they are a friendly bunch and this is a great opportunity to meet some other local volunteers!

They ask all new volunteers to come at all possible at 10 for a short induction.


How are you getting there?
