March  Saturday 23rd          Spring Launch for Exeter Growers Co-Operative

At our last Members meeting  it was agreed that we would change our  membership structure and our name from Exeter Community Agriculture to Exeter Growers Co-Operative.  Come and join us on 23rd of March to work on the field, to celebrate the spring equinox and the launch of Exeter Growers.  Bring a picnic lunch.  Friends and family are welcome!

Now is the time for current members to think about our new structure and whether or not they wish to be full members or “friends”.  Please give this some consideration.

ECA Wassailing on Saturday 26th Jan

Come and join us in the orchard on 26th Jan for some orchard work in the morning (11.00-1.00) and Wassailing in the afternoon at 2.00 (you can just come for the afternoon if you want!).

For those of us who do not know much about the old traditions of wassailing, Jo Cotter, from organicARTS West Town Farm, has kindly offered to assist us with some songs, mulled apple juice and banging on pots and pans to help our young trees to grow strong and bear lots of fruit in the coming year!  If the weather is very bad we will have to cancel. Please keep an eye on your emails or call Lucy on 07948 399 872 if in doubt.    Bring a picnic.   Look forward to seeing you there!

Our shed is up!
