๐Ÿ„ New Calves, Happy Goats & Thirsty Tomatoes

Saturday 18th July

Written by Andrada

Another brilliant day volunteering at the farm! We mixed up the perfect growing blend for the tomatoes before planting them out, then spent the rest of the session watering what felt like every corner of the gardenโ€”everything was definitely feeling the heat and in need of a good drink.

The highlight had to be meeting the farm's newest arrivals: the adorable calves, who only arrived this week, and, of course, catching up with the ever-curious goats for some well-earned cuddles.

A productive day of muddy hands, happy plants, thirsty gardens, and very cute farm animals! ๐ŸŒž๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ„

Girls Just Wanna Make Compost ๐Ÿ’š

Saturday 4th July

Written by Andrada

๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸŒฑ Girl power at Surrey Docks Farm today! An all-women crew got stuck into making compost by sieving rotted woodchip and layering it with coffee grounds from the farm cafรฉ. With Kate's guidance, we built one full bagโ€”around 1 tonne of compost that will decompose over the next few months. It was also great to welcome three new GoodGymers to the task. A muddy, productive morning with brilliant teamwork! โ™ป๏ธ

Weedin' in the rain!

Saturday 6th June

Written by Southwark runner

This weekend Olive, Emma, James and I went to Surrey Docks Farm to help out. We managed to transform a spot under a tree, by clearing all the weed, putting down cardboard and mulch, to turn it into a nice picnic area with a picnic bench too. Hopefully it will be put to good use next week with the good weather coming up!

Hay There! Spring Fair Setup Complete

Saturday 9th May

Written by Andrada

The Spring Fair at Surrey Docks Farm was powered by a tiny but determined team of three volunteers- luckily, we teamed up with other amazing volunteers from the farm, gym, and local groups to get everything ready.

Together, we borrowed tables from the church neighbours, prepared spaces for the animals, put up a lot of gazebos, sorted the BBQ area, and moved hay bale seating into place for activities and visitors. The weather was amazing, the teamwork was strong, and even the animals seemed happy with the setup. Somehow, everything came together just in time for a fantastic spring fair that everyone enjoyed.

Great place

Saturday 14th March

Written by Roni Ellen Ingram

Really enjoyed spending time on the farm, getting a sweat on carrying bags of manure and digging the fields. Bonus was getting to hang out with the goats afterwards!

Compost Crew: Getting Our Hands Dirty at Surrey Docks Farm

Sunday 23rd November 2025

Written by Andrada

We rolled up our sleeves at Surrey Docks Farm to turn food scraps into future soil. Through hands-on composting, we learned how waste can be transformed into something valuable, supporting the farmโ€™s gardens while helping the planetโ€”one peel and pile at a time.

And of course we got to feed some animals at the end of the session including lovely Oreo and Penguin cows!
