What people say about our courses...

"The whole day was nourishing, for the mind, soul and body - especially the delicious lunch. The course was friendly and personal; we were welcome guests rather than trainees, and our individual needs and questions were addressed. I was 20 minutes walk from my home, and yet I felt I was in the middle of the countryside, at not just an impressive organic farm but also a haven of active hope for a better food system and a healthier planet."

"After the first half an hour of hearing about Chloe and Ximena’s life paths towards Sitopia Farm, I already felt like the day had been worth it"

"I thoroughly enjoyed this down to earth presentation of no-dig growing, applied to a reasonable scale. The hosts Chloe and Ximena were sharing their own challenges, as well as the satisfactions and aspirations for development. I loved the hospitality and rigorous punctuality, along with the generous sharing of further resources. A great ally to have for any gardener or farmer."

"Getting a taste of the community Sitopia Farm are growing and the principles employed by the lovely growers left me feeling optimistic that positive changes can and will be made to our food systems."

"The length was perfect, the lunch was gorgeous, and I came away with exactly what I had hoped to learn, and more. The bouquet cutting was such a treat, as was the veg bag. One of the most perfect days I can remember!"

"Life changing! An amazing and inspiring day with great people. The team are a wealth of knowledge while also making you feel like you can grow yourself. I learned so much! Lunch was beautiful. Would recommend it to anyone"

"Simply a magical introduction into no-dig veg and flower growing, come along and meet wonderful people and see what it is possible to grow with whatever space you have available"

"A truly inspirational day! The Sitopia crew delivered a fun and informative course covering a wide range of topics. Being set on the farm truly brought the learning to life"
