Paddington Farm Trust

Paddington Farm Trust Farm-based charity hosting youth residentials, volunteer days, courses and family-friendly events. Our work particularly supports those who are disadvantaged.

Based on a 43-acre organic farm, we help people connect with the natural world and learn about food growing, rural skills and sustainability. We host residentials for youth groups from deprived urban areas, weekly farm volunteer days (including for participants with additional needs), forest school sessions, plus family-friendly events and courses. We also grow and sell organic produce, helping everyone to access fresh, healthy food.

What better way to spend a summer evening than practicing yoga in our beautiful woodland, shaded by the trees?
Our thanks to Verity (Barefoot Yoga) for leading the session yesterday, and to The National Lottery Community Fund for funding it as part of our series of wellbeing workshops.
Next up we have Ecoprinting with Elisa on Tuesday 18th August - see our events page for details.

Young people from The Feathers Association in Newport, Wales, are staying with us this week, helping with animal care, meeting the owls, exploring the farm and finding out about food growing. Not that *all* the animals have been behaving very well...

2025 was a "mast" year for fruit (i.e. there was a bumper crop), so our apple trees are taking a well earned rest this year. But it seems our plum trees didn't get the memo!! We've been harvesting tons of delicious plums, which you'll find for sale in our on-site shop, and at the Glastonbury Natural Fruit and Veg stall at Glastonbury market on Tuesday morning. Perfect for jams and chutneys, crumbles and compotes... or just eating fresh 😋

Feeding the chickens and collecting the eggs, meeting the animals, enjoying mindful owl connection with Owl Enlightment, nature crafts with Elisa, a circus rehearsal with Devito's Circus CIC and a trip to the beach... it's been a busy week for the young people of Paddington Arts! They've headed back to London today, tired but happy, heads and hearts buzzing with new experiences ❤
