Harvest celebration this Sunday

Just to remind you that this Sunday 2nd October from 1 till 4pm we will be holding our annual harvest celebration on the farm, and everybody is welcome to come along and join in. There will be a pop-up cafe in the farmyard, craft workshops, a farm tour, a chance to meet some of the farm team, and fresh produce for sale, amongst other things. Don't miss it!

Maggi

Magdalena, from Germany, left the farm this morning to travel on to her next WWOOF placement, having volunteered with us for 7 weeks over the summer. Maggi has been invaluable on the farm and we miss her already!

Views of the farm

These two unusual views of Bosavern Community Farm were taken on Sunday from the hills behind the farm, and clearly show the polytunnels, chicken sheds, farm buildings, and some of the grazing and crop fields, as well as our proximity to the Cornish coastline.

New shop sign

Our old shop sign was looking somewhat dilapidated, so we've built a new one using reclaimed timber from our woodshed.

Our smart new sign stands by the roadside directing people to our farm shop, where you can buy lovely fresh produce such as the peppers shown above.

Dario, Clara, Franziska and Lea.

Four of our team of WWOOF volunteers have left the farm this week, either to return home or to continue their wwoofing experiences elsewhere, after volunteering with us for several weeks each. We'd like to thank them for their help and hard work during August and September.
