Greenslate Community Farm
Greenslate Farm is a unique community run educational centre which offers real hands on experience in the world of farming.
Greenslate Community Farm is a 37 acre semi urban, not for profit eco farm providing therapeutic services and educational activities via food growing, conservation and agriculture, whilst providing fresh produce to the community using regenerative farming practices. We believe that children and young people learn by doing, so we give them the opportunity to get hands on experience in every aspect of the farm environment.
They run Straw Bale Café as part of Greenslate Community Farm.
