It might be a bit grey today, but the recent sunny skies, warmer weather and the appearance of daffodils, crocus and green shoots everywhere have put a spring in our step and a smile on our faces up at the farm. And now you can read all about what we’re working on – including big updates about the future of livestock, new Core Group members, and our plans for the growing season – in the latest issue of the SCA Spring Newsletter!
In this issue, you’ll find:
- News from the Farm team, covering crop planting, new farm team staff, planning our 2025 budget, and looking ahead to the growing seasons…
- A beautiful farewell to our herd of cattle, written by our departing Livestock manager Emilija as the farm begins the transition away from keeping animals. We will miss you Emilija – and we will miss the cows too…
- News from our Somalia friends looking ahead to some Twinning events together and an invite to the next Grand Iftar in Bristol…
- A story from our fantastic Thursday volunteers, told in the form of a WhatsApp conversation…
- News from the Core Group, as we welcome a new CG member…
- And much more!
As SCA members, we’d love to hear your news, recipes, insights and opinions for future newsletters. So if you’ve got something to share, please do send it in to us at newsletter@stroudcommunityagriculture.org.
Best wishes and have a great Spring.
– The SCA Team
