Event Time : 9:00 am - 5:00 pm

ORFC in the Field comes to the Lea Valley for horticultural growing tips, fungi and ferments, and practical tips on careers and routes to market!

£160 for two days, including lunch (limited to 70 places)

ORFC is coming to London! Join us on 4 – 5 April 2025 at the pioneering growers’ cooperative OrganicLea, which has built a hugely successful peri-urban growing business in the Lea Valley over more than two decades. 

We’ll be gathering at OrganicLea to explore a variety of unique practical skills from horticultural tips and combining fungi and ferments to what it means to make a successful growing project grounded in community and cooperative ownership. 

We’ll also be discussing ways to make a career in growing work for you, exploring routes to market and local network building, finding out how to build a thriving workers’ cooperative. With a flourishing network of radical grassroots community food projects in North London, we’ll be looking at ways to nourish all forms of life within the city through building relationships with the land we work. 

Join us amongst the spring flowers and young vegetables, where we’ll be getting our hands into the soil, meeting like-minded and passionate individuals, and sharing hearty seasonal feasts from OrganicLea and Pea Shoot Feasts in what promises to be an amazing start to the new season. For everyone interested in radical urban growing projects and a good food future in our cities, this isn’t one to miss!
