Smallholding near Durham City managed as a workers coop
unfurling leaves

Abundant Earth produces food, craft products and provides hands on courses.

 

Our food activities include growing veg and salad in our one acre garden, running a veg box scheme supplying 50 households each week, looking after our hen flock who provide eggs for our veg customers, and we also have a flock of sheep and plenty of fruit trees and bushes.



Our craft activities include wood, metal and willow. We make items for sale such as wooden bowls, willow baskets and craft tools.



Our courses include teaching these craft skills, running workshops at events and at our smallholding. We also teach permaculture, green building, composting, fruit tree grafting, hedgelaying and provide training in a variety of other topics such as yoga and non-violent communication (NVC).
