Solstice farm trip to Metske at Bore Place Market Garden

Growing Communities’ farmers’ market are delighted to invite you to this year’s farm trip to visit Metske van der Laan at Bore Place Organic Market Garden. This is an amazing opportunity to see a small organic market garden in operation, learn what it takes to grow seasonal vegetables and spend the longest day of the year enjoying fresh air in the beautiful Kent countryside – teeming with insects, birds and other wildlife. Plus there will be a cream tea included as part of the ticket.

These Soil Association certified organic vegetable gardens form part of an organic farm with large gardens, a historic house and conference and education centre (not part of the tour). The vegetable gardens are key to the centre's work with young people, providing work experience and supported placements for vulnerable and disadvantaged young people.

Please bring your own packed lunch and wear sturdy footwear.

Tickets include return travel to and from Stoke Newington by coach and the cream tea.

Note: we charge the amount needed to cover the cost of the coach so we are not able to offer discounts.
