5 Goodgymers gathered for a sunny morning at Oxford City Farm. We were tasked with the job of clearing many weeds, including an abundance of thistles, and harvesting shallots. Working with other volunteers at the farm, we managed to get the area clear - ready for cardboard and compost to prepare for what's next!

During our break we enjoyed checking in with the resident goats, and we even got to take home some hand-picked veggies too! Thanks to Oxford City Farm for a lovely morning!

Really enjoyed this session. It was a lovely morning to run along the river to the task and though I was a bit anxious about meeting new people (only my second task) everyone was really friendly and the 2 hours went by really quickly. Was very satisfying to see how much we had cleared at the end. Great to find out more about Oxford City Farm and they looked after the volunteers well with some nice snacks and a cup of tea!
