We are excited to once again be a host farm for the Apricot Centre’s Level 3 Regenerative Land-based Systems programme.
This volunteer placement on our farm will focus on horticulture and food growing, tree planting, nature recovery, livestock handling and farm work, and give you valuable work experience in this sector.
As a host farm, we’ll provide a full-time volunteer experience during your placement here.
You’ll assist the community by helping with logistics such as making food orders, organising rotas, cooking communally, and supporting our traineeships. You’ll help us plant trees for rewilding, as well as aiding us in our organic, wildlife-friendly market garden, and helping us tend to our livestock, which we use for low-impact grazing in the rewilding areas.
We provide all the food during your placement. Meals are prepared communally with all ingredients provided, using local, organic produce where possible, some directly from the farm.
You’ll be staying either in our Bunkhouse, the yurt or the wagon, in your own private room, with shared bathrooms. Our new communal Dayroom space has a shared kitchen with a large, comfortable living area and wood burner. This space also has an additional bathroom and utility room.
Practical experience can be gained in our machinery, forestry and countryside management workshops. The site also hosts a woodland fire-pit clearing with a clay-fired pizza oven for outdoor gatherings. The main barn is used for livestock care and occasionally as an events venue.
We’ll be here to support you along the way and make sure your placement is varied, effective, and informative.
One day a week will be spent at the Apricot Centre working towards your free level 3 qualification in Regenerative Land Based Systems as well as a Permaculture Design Certificate. The remaining 4 weekdays will be spent helping out around the farm and in the organic garden, granting you great experience while volunteering on a nature-friendly farm.
