Wow we had a super lovely Saturday at Aldermoor Farm cleaning bricks! The Sun was shining and it was great to be working at the farm whilst it was open - we caught the attention of quite a few children, curious as to what we were doing.
The 90 minutes passed super fast as we were able to chat and get to know a bit more about each other. Nice to have a mix of newer GG'ers and our friends from Portsmouth GoodGym. We sat and grabbed a drink after and were able to make purchases from the farm shop.
We cleaned approx 100 bricks, making a small dent in the pile still left to go!
Richard is now wondering if he may reuse the bricks on the farm to build a wall....I guess we better go back soon to clean some more 🧱🧱🧱

Nurturing the potential of people and land
ldermoor Community Farm was started in 2014 as business owned by its members – a co-operative. This was a great way to start, but in 2020 we transitioned to become a charity and now benefit from being a project of Alder Trust. Not only do we now have the financial benefits of being a charity, but we are part of a larger organisation, a local charity with similar values and goals. We benefit from a wider governing body and from basic admin support, giving us more energy to focus on our work on the land.

Loved this task! Great company :)
Join us on our next session

It will provide a blank canvas for us to start to engage people with local planting and inspire them that they can love where they live!
