What We Do
Old Chapel Farm is a working farm, but freed from the restraints of
commercial farming (we have a business as well for income), we are
able to be less intensive and more experimental. We grow to feed the
people who come here, selling only some excess meat and honey.
We spend a lot of time on projects that restore the biodiversity of
the land.
We always have an ongoing building
project. We have restored the 17th century farmhouse and barns, are
completing the chapel renovation and are reconstructing an 18th
century barn for crafts.
Old Chapel Farm is a place where
strangers come together and different cultures meet. Through living
and working together, volunteers are able to appreciate the complex
interactions between people, animals, climate and land involved in
food production. And hopefully make deeper connections.
From 2010 we are running a
programme of courses which we hope will grow over the coming years.
