VISITORS are being invited beyond the farm gates at Radford Semele.
Canalside Community Food is taking part in Open Farm Sunday on June 7.
People will have the opportunity to look round the vegetable-growing fields and polytunnels, as well as join in with a number of other nature and food-based activities.
Canalside grows a wide range of vegetables and fruits for their weekly produce boxes. Over 100 households in the local area subscribe to the scheme.
The growers of the scheme lead regular volunteer mornings for the members of Canalside and there are regular events for members to connect with the small piece of countryside where Canalside is located.
Administrator for the scheme, Ali Jeffery, said: “People often tell us they drive past our gate every day and have always wondered what we do, so we think that opening the gates and showing people round is a great way for people to find out about how Canalside works and how they can get involved.
“We also want to tell people about the model of farming that we use – Community Supported Agriculture (CSA). A tour of our farm will give people an insight into how it operates and what’s special about it.”
The tour of the farm will take place from 12.30pm, with other activities including a moth release, a Forage and Herbal Harvest walk and a fermentation demonstration.
