We are proud to be taking part in the national Agroforestry Open Weekend for the second time this year.
Oakbrook Farm Agroforestry Tour
Sunday 18th May, 11am – 1pm
Find out why we’re planting fruit trees, hedges, shelterbelts, coppices and more at Oakbrook. The tour will focus on Oakbrook Orchard, but also take in other new plantings across the farm, including trees planted in the last two years for woodchip, forage, basketry and shelter. Learn about the benefits of trees to the cattle, the vegetables, the soil and wildlife. Hear about some of the challenges we’ve encountered and see some of the solutions we’re working on.
This is a free tour offered as part of the national Agroforestry Open Weekend. Check out the wider event and the other 40-plus farms taking part here.
Everyone welcome. You’ll need to be able to manage farm tracks, grassy fields and some steep slopes.
The community room in the barn will be open for the morning, with tea, coffee and biscuits available, and shelter in case of rain/sun/gales/snow!
Please feel free to just turn up, but if you’re able to email in advance, that would help us with gauging numbers: oakbrookorchard@gmail.com
