Volunteer Fridays

The team at Five Acre Farm in Backwell are inviting any keen or aspiring gardeners to come and help out at our busy and productive market garden.

It’s a great a way to learn more about sustainable veg-growing, meet new people, keep fit and contribute to local food networks in Bristol and North Somerset.

Together we will grow a wide variety of vegetables using regenerative methods which build healthy soils and ecosystems.
