Todayโs 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 โ 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 gardenโeverything 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! ๐๐ฑ๐

๐ช๐ฑ 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 bagโaround 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! โป๏ธ

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!

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.

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!
