Spring – Autumn 2026
In 2025, we launched ORFC in the Field, a new programme of farm-based residential workshops. Our full annual programme will include four immersive, practical on-farm events each year, hosted in partnership with outstanding agroecological farms across the UK.
Throughout 2026, we’ll have workshops on heritage grains, livestock and landscape interactions, peri-urban farming, food politics, flower growing, and much more.
