Fisher Studios came down to the farm last Friday during our volunteer and visitor session to get some photos of our amazing volunteers and the farm in action.

Here are some behind the shots scenes of their photographer, Reuben, working his magic - it was the perfect day for it!

Our volunteers are an essential part of Oxford City Farm - and the farm means something to them too.

If you'd like to join our community and get involved drop by one Friday or Saturday to chat to our volunteer coordinator and/or fill in the volunteer form here: https://app.plinth.org.uk/schema-form/od8tBeuan0wmvMwJpugn?

It's not the exciting part of farm life, but repairs to our wheelbarrows and wagons are an important part of keeping the farm rolling along.

Your purchases, one off donations, and regular donations as a Root Supporter are all the difference to help us buy the tools and parts we need to repair and replace all the kit on the farm.

By having the right tools and equipment, we save staff and volunteer time (and backs!) to help us great nutritious and sustainable local food.

Thank you for your contributions!

Amazing work by Mind Foundry AI as part of their company's volunteer day.

They spent the day at the farm harvesting walnuts and then preparing them for pickling through poking to check for shells and then making a salt brine solution.

This is a very important harvest for us as it's only a short window to get the walnuts before they form shells or the walnuts get them!

Thanks so much to the team and please get in touch if your team would like to sign up for a led CSR volunteer day at the farm, any time of the year! https://www.oxfordcityfarm.org.uk/corporate-volunteering
