I really enjoyed it! We met the farm workers and collected compost in wheelbarrows, sieved it together and took turns with the stages of this. Everyone was lovely and we were rewarded by meeting two calves, Potato and Dumpling! They were very cute! Thanks for the opportunity, it was a great way to spend a Saturday morning 🐄

It was an usual busy morning before the Harvest Festival. We helped by moving chairs, tables and putting up gazebos and carrying stuff around, while occasionally getting distracted by the goats. Everyone was in the festival spirit, including the animals. It was lovely to see everything coming together and hearing that the festival was a success. It was also lovely to see the new mosaics around the farm.

Today’s mission was to tackle the drawers of pots at the back of the tool shed, clearing and organising them to make the pots much easier to access. It was a surprisingly satisfying task, with one wheelbarrow ending up completely full of dust — a clear sign of a job well done!

Afterwards, we went to see the piglets, goats and the new calves, with plenty of animal appreciation and stroking. A productive and enjoyable session, combining a bit of farm organisation with some well-earned animal time.

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 garden—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! 🌞🌱🐄

💪🌱 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 café. With Kate's guidance, we built one full bag—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! ♻️

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!
