What we offer
Buzzcraft for wellbeing.
Our day starts around a camp fire. Moves through mindfulness, animal interaction, training, and goat/pony hiking. Encompassing bushcraft and bee keeping.
Run as a peer group of lived experienced outdoor living enthusiasts with an animal twist.
We host these days several times a week for a variety of dedicated groups, So no matter what brings you to us, we have a day that will suit you.
Carrot Club
Peer to Peer support groups for young people and adults alike.
These sessions are run as small groups of lived experience peers who enjoy interacting with nature and animals. They have many activities from horse / animal agility to fund raisers and field sports. The groups meet in shared space between 10am and 1pm on Sundays.
Community Allotment and Farm Shop
We have a sizeable growing space where we grow food to share within and with our community and as a trade income for our farm to support the other activities, Its new, it needs some help and is the base of our volunteer opportunities. Should you feel you would like to get involved, please get in touch through our contact form, someone will get back to you.
Our Farm shop produce is sold in conjunction with another great community company The Ilkeston Farmhouse farm shop who dedicate themselves to providing quality farm grown produce in small enough quantities for the smaller household, older people, or people living on their own. If you want a single carrot, then please buy a single carrot! and why not, our produce is very nice indeed!
Circle Space
