Welcome to the first Lauriston Farm Tour of 2026. Find out what a difference 12,000+ tree and hedgerow saplings are making to this urban farm...
If you’re curious to learn more about Lauriston Agroecology Farm - and especially about why they planted so many trees - come along to the farm tour on Sunday 1st February.
Farming with trees (‘agroforestry’) was once commonplace, and nearly got swept away by large scale industrial agriculture and monocrop growing. The farm team will share how they are reviving it here at Lauriston Farm, with all the hope and excitement this brings.
The farm tour will take in the:
- Community Orchard
- Woodland re-planting area
- Agroforestry alleys (lines of trees that create sheltered and stable space to grow other crops, as well as bringing crops of fruits and nuts themselves)
+ then all return to the Community Kitchen for soup, bread and chat from 1pm-2pm. If you want to make a day of it, stay on for the Orchard Wassailing in the afternoon.
Who is This For?
The tour welcomes all curious visitors, including total newcomers with no previous knowledge about farming or trees, as well as farmers and growers and anyone interested in a career or volunteering in this type of work. The tour is aimed at adults or interested young people (the free event in the afternoon is more suited to children).
Accessibility Notes:
This is a walking tour across the farm, lasting around 1.5hrs, potentially also suitable for all terrain/off road wheelchairs or mobility scooters, but probably not standard wheelchairs. The ground is rough, uneven and will be wet and muddy in parts. There are no steps or stairs. Please contact the farm if you have any accessibility questions or requests
