On the first Saturday of each month, we welcome you to the farm to get involved with what’s going on on the land and for seasonal celebrations, nature-based taster-sessions and mini-workshops. It’s a wonderful chance to see what’s been happening on the farm, learn new skills and enjoy a relaxing, fun day with like-minded company!

This month, our Community Farm day falls on Calan Gaeaf (or the Celtic fire festival of Samhain). For rural folk in Wales, Calan Gaeaf has always marked the end of the harvest season and has a long association with death and the Dead - though different celebrations, this is where Halloween and Calan Gaeaf, or Samhain, are similar! Calan Gaeaf has always been acknowledged as a time when the veil between the living and the dead is at its most thin. For us, working the land, it is when we are in most direct contact with the dying of things, the falling leaves, the slowing of growth, the coming slumber, the death that feeds life in the next cycle of the seasons. It’s a chance to reflect on death, the dead, and the rhythms and cycles of nature that connect us with them.
