About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Caerhys Organic Community Agriculture (COCA) is an agricultural scheme run for and supported by the local community. COCA members share delicious organic food grown in partnership with local farmers.

💼 What the programme involves

The volunteers will be working with the farmers and COCA members to prepare for COCA’s annual Harvest Festival which will take place at the farm on 10TH/ 11TH August. The festival will bring together COCA members and the local community to celebrate this year’s harvest, and to eat, drink, and enjoy live music. The event will also act as an educational platform to share thoughts and ideas on sustainable and eco-friendly food production. The volunteers will take a very active role in the festival preparations, including event administration, decorating the venue, promoting and publicising and preparing food. The volunteers will also be helping out with general farm work, including weeding and planting a wide variety of vegetables and salads. Volunteers will be able learn about community supported agriculture, and develop horticultural skills. This is also a great opportunity to gain experience in event management, and volunteers will have the chance to be very creative.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will live in one of the farm buildings/ Mobile homes or in tents (depending on weather and availability) and will need to bring warm sleeping bags. There is a barn area for communal activities, and a kitchen and shower nearby. The group will cook together using produce from the farm whenever possible. Some food will also come from surplus food donations which is a part of COCA's ethic to live in a sustainable way and avoids waste wherever possible.

📍 About the location

Caerhys is located in Pembrokeshire, a beautiful National Park area situated on the coast of West Wales. Although this project is remote, the nearest city of St David’s (the smallest city in the UK) is four miles away and buses to the city run around four times a day during the peak season. There are lots of activities available in this area including walking the famous Welsh Coastal path, water sports such as kayaking, surfing and coasteering, as well as rock climbing and fishing. Despite being small the area is a very popular tourist destination thanks to its natural beauty and vibrant culture.

⚠️ Requirements

Volunteers need to bring work boots, warm & waterproof clothing and a warm sleeping bag. An interest in sustainable agriculture is desirable.
