Walking the walk
Armed with hiking boots and empty bellies, the mark-makers set off to “walk the walk” for our belated summer social. The day started at FarmEd, a pioneering regenerative farm , before a trek back to Chippy that took us right through Diddly Squat Farm. It was a fantastic afternoon of sustainable food, scenic views, and wandering conversations.

With sleeves rolled up and wheelbarrows at the ready, we revisited one of our favourite volunteering spots to support their brilliant biodiversity work. From rock borders to pollinator prep, it was a day of sunshine, soil, and shared purpose.
