Working Weekend 
- Date:
- 17 – 19 February
- Price:
- No Charge
Fruit trees and bushes to prune, deep cleaning to tackle, and things to mend.
This is a chance to get to know the farm, turn your hand to old jobs and new, enjoy good company and good food too!
Our Working Weekends are run in the beautiful spirit of the wonderful WWOOF organisation: we feed and accommodate you, you work, with us. No money changes hands.
An opportunity to have bright ideas by the compost heap, happy talk in the hen house, and cool chat in the kitchen. Join us to prove that many hands make light work and that today’s stranger is tomorrow’s friend.

Join us in the Lower Shaw Farm kitchen for a morning of stirring, kneading, proving, and baking. You will learn our tried and tested method for making a yeasted bread dough, which can then be used for loaves, rolls, pizza, fruited breads, and more. You will also learn how to make a rye sourdough loaf, which is ideal for those wishing to cut down on wheat – and is delicious!
Price includes all ingredients, recipe sheets, and bread to take home.
“I should love to have a copy of your cookbook when it is published! Meanwhile, could I have your bread recipe, it was amazing.” Libby
