Sow, Cook and Eat - Part 1 - Hockerton Housing Project - Adult Learning

About this course

Based at the inspirational venue - Hockerton Housing Project, you will take part in a series of 3 sessions, growing, harvesting and preserving seasonal produce. We will work together in a supportive atmosphere and in a hands-on experiential setting.  

Hockerton Housing project is a working farm/small holding with unpaved surfaces. The session will mainly be outside but we will always have the option to go inside in poor weather.  

Dive into practical self-sufficiency and sustainable wellbeing.  Learn how to tend, harvest and process fruits and vegetables from an inspiring community farm. Taste and take-home foods picked and processed in the session and build a wealth of knowledge, inspiration and social connections that you can cultivate in your own garden and community.  

Resources required:

• All weather clothing for practical outdoor tasks.  
• Sturdy boots. 
• Waterproof coat. 
• Preserving jars/bottles/containers (specific guidance to be given at the time).
