Overview

Woodgate Valley Urban Farm, is a six acre, volunteer-run community farm, orchard and woodland on the edge of Woodgate Valley Country Park in Bartley Green, Birmingham. The facilities that will be opening to the community in late Spring 2023, include public access to the farm two days per week; community events and activities in the woodland and orchard (previously not accessible) and family events at the farm. In addition, specific activities and support for children and young people who are suffering educational and social exclusion will be offered.

Activities will include animal assisted therapy, forest school, bush craft, nature play and volunteering opportunities.
