Our Visions And Values
Oakbrook Community Farm is pioneering sustainable farming practices for the future. We hold biodynamic and organic accreditation for the farm as a whole, ensuring that all operations on the farm are inline with these principles, and we strive to be an example to other organisations seeking to pursue community farming with biodynamic principles.
Oakbrook Community Farm exists because of and for our community. We seek ways in which our community can be practically and emotionally a part of the farm, and seek to be transparent and approachable in all our operations. We will seek to encourage and support volunteering, training and educational opportunities within our tenant enterprises and across the whole-farm infrastructure, believing that involving volunteers brings benefits of cost-effectiveness for the land and its users, and empowers public stewardship of the land.
Our Invitation
We have set aside over 3 acres of space for you to nourish yourself with nature. You are welcome to spend time in our Bee Garden, or walk our nature corridor and enjoy the tranquility of our untouched Nature Field.
Our Haven field has facilities including a water standpipe, compost toilet, wet weather shelter and fire circle, and is home to multiple educational and young people’s groups. It is also available for private hire if you would like to host an event or celebration here.
You are also welcome to spend time here when not in use. If you would like to get involved with the farm you can join our regular volunteering days which involve all aspects of the farm. You can also join Oakbrook Community Benefit Society and become a shareholder of our organisation at any time.
