Report written by Sam Lefevre (he/him)
After running from East Dulwich, walking from Isle of Dog and cycling from Tower Hamlets, Sam, Miguel and Harry met outside Surrey Docks Farm just has the heavens broke down into tears 🌧️ still despite the wet weather, we all put on a brave face and entered the farm to meet Chris.
Chris had a few tasks for us, but with the rain constantly pouring down, he kept it to two.
Firstly, we had to weed the pig pen as the baby pigs were no longer residents, thus giving us the chance to clean and clear it out. We had various tools and even with the rain - there were some stubborn weeds that didn't want to come out! A bit of man power took care of business.
We'd completed that in under an hour, so Chris got us straight into the second and last task, which was to sweep and clear the goats pen. In three and with a system, we cleaned the whole lot out....even did a deep clean by spraying the courtyard with a hose. The goats wanted to welcome us with more of their 💩...but we were having none of it and with everything done, made a run for it 😂
Remember, more farming tasks next Sunday, so sign up and hopefully, the weather will show up next weekend!
Surrey Docks Farm is run by a charity and provides education for school children, young people and adults with learning difficulties. Our work helps with essential maintenance and helps them keep the farm operating.
