A summary
Learn about each stage of how you get food on the table. We'll start the day with a tour of Southside Farm - meet our farmer growers, see our veggie growing fields and look inside the giant polytunnels to see how our veg grows. We'll then explore the children's veg garden, identifying plants and produce and picking and tasting our way around, selecting delicious herbs, fruit, salads and veg to make lunch with. Next up time in the field kitchen learning some cooking skills - following basic recipes, veg prep, peeling and safe knife skills. We'll be making together a delicious range of tasty dips and veg sticks for lunch, together with scummy quesadillas (hot cheesy tortilla sandwiches!) Fruity kebabs and dipping sauce for pudding. Lunch in the picnic area will be followed by some nature based arts, crafts and games. This is a family workshop. Under 8s MUST BE ACCOMPANIED by an adult parent or carer. 8s and overs can be unaccompanied - but you are also welcome to stay. One FREE adult place available per family.

About your mentor
Growing Local CIC
GROW, COOK, EAT healthy & local Hereford food
Growing Local is a community interest company that encourages and educates communities to grow, cook and eat local food. Most of our sessions run from Southside Farm, on the southern edge of Hereford, where we have a children's educational garden and field kitchen. We also grow veg for a veg box scheme and for local shops and businesses. We work with schools and communities delivering educational programmes and events in sustainable food growing, nature, crafting, cooking and more.
How to Find Us

Cancellation Policy
Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.

My experience is an educational activity and the 14-day cooling-off period under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 therefore applies. After the 14 day period my standard policy will apply.
