The Edible Schoolyard

The Edible Schoolyard is dedicated to connecting young people with food, nature and each other. Through hands-on educational experiences, participants journey from ‘farm to fork’, developing new skills and behaviours that transform our relationship to what’s on our plate. Fun weekly sessions include composting, growing, harvesting, crafting, processing, cooking, talking and eating together. Each programme will culminate in children hosting their own supper club for their families – transforming the farm into a pop-up restaurant for the evening! By framing Aldermoor Community Farm as an outdoor classroom and involving young people in real farm activities, we are making the most of a wonderfully rich educational environment while inviting children to support the production of locally grown, fresh, organic produce.
