Community mission

Hay day bank holiday down on the farm

1 GoodGymer made their way to help the Sitopia Farm in Greenwich.

One good gym runner joined a working party at Sitopia farm, a social farming enterprise just off Shooter's Hill. On arrival we were greeted by the wonderful Chloe who took us to our task: building beds to grow organic vegetables. The cardboard base was rolled out ready to go and some of the group started on the seemingly Sisyphean task of transferring organic compost from a large pile to the base, whilst others finished other beds by spreading straw around the edges. After several hours the new bed was complete yet the file of compost seemed no smaller, so there's a great opportunity for other Goodgymmers to get down on the farm to help build further beds in this amazing community enterprise.
