Dove alloggerai
Accommodation and Food : Volunteers will stay in large style canvas tents throughout the project, 'this is off-grid, sustainable living, so please plan ahead and bring warm clothes and sleeping items.
Rock farm will provide dry goods and fresh produce for 2 meals per day, plus one hot meal cooked together with the rock farm staff. All Volunteers are expected to get involved in the cooking process and washing up.
Volunteers will have access to 2 showers – they are outdoor showers, so you will need to bring flip-flops/sliders and a swimming costume. Carbon negative showers only provide a certain amount of hot water per day. One of the tasks for the volunteers is to create the hot water system! Rock farm has a small furnished cabin in the camping area for use as a meeting and relaxing area. There are a 4 further buildings/cover for eating and cooking – including a pizza oven!
Facilities are basic and this is part of the experience. The farm operates mostly off-grid, so all toilets are composting loos and there is a limited amount of solar-power for charging of phones. It is strongly recommended to bring a battery-pack for your phone, and to embrace having a break from your tech!

Organizzatore
Host Partner: Rock Farm is a therapeutic growing project open to everyone, restoring both the landscape and people through an innovative market garden model. They grow fruit and vegetables using regenerative, permaculture, and no dig principles, with absolutely zero pesticides or herbicides. The farm is at the cutting edge of embedding productive crops in a forest garden ecosystem, which sinks a large amount of carbon into the soil instead of emitting it and provides the backbone of their sustainability and therapeutic work. Retreats, camping, workshops and horticulture courses are also available at Rock Farm, especially for marginalised people.
Rock Farm is part of One Church Brighton, an organisation with several social projects in and around the Brighton area. The farm grows produce on 6 acres of community land in West Sussex, offering access to horticultural therapy and community gardening for a range of volunteers and vulnerable groups.
