Some of the team arrived early to do some hill reps ... not sure how many they did, but its a steep hill so hats off to them!
This evenings task was to weed Bed 6 and the adjacent paths and another path which was almost hidden under long grass and comfrey.
Everything which wasn't a crop had to go... except for the Sunflower!!!! Thanks to Abby the Sunflower survived 😊
We were a triumphant team of 10 tonight and completed the task in the hour!
We finished the evening with cake provided by Ellie to remember her Gran, who would have had her 93rd birthday today.

Nurturing the potential of people and land
ldermoor Community Farm was started in 2014 as business owned by its members – a co-operative. This was a great way to start, but in 2020 we transitioned to become a charity and now benefit from being a project of Alder Trust. Not only do we now have the financial benefits of being a charity, but we are part of a larger organisation, a local charity with similar values and goals. We benefit from a wider governing body and from basic admin support, giving us more energy to focus on our work on the land.
