xScrunchee Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Hi there, Just wondered if anyone knows anything about or has been to Wellgate community farm in Essex? It's in Collier Row I think. We are thinking that we may take a trip there but just wondered if anybody knew anything about it before hand. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a couple of youth groups who have enjoyed going.. if u let me know when u plan to go - maybe I'll bring my youngest daughter along and we can have a mini-meet!

Crooked Chicken Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I originally come from Gidea Park (nr Romford) in Essex. Never heard of Wellgate Community Farm, but will have to ask my sister who still lives that way. Should be an interesting day out though.

Guest Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I would be interested in going to - passed it but never been! Many years in the Romford Drum & Trumpet Corps here! Too many - just the webmaster now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourfinches Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 My eldest did his work experience there three years ago and had a great time and found the staff really friendly. He even milked the goats! It was his experience there that started us thinking about keeping chickens. I've never visited so don't know how long a visit would take but have found their website http://www.wellgatecommunityfarm.org.uk/ If you do decide to go I'd be happy to pop up for a meet too (Phil, you could even pick me up en-route!)

It was his experience there that started us thinking about keeping chickens. I was looking round their site last night - and it gave me an idea for one of Carys's birthday presents - she can have a part share in a pig or a goat - and go up to visit it - then we can get rid of her on saturday mornings in the Young Farmers Club (free labour to muck out the animals!) - she'd love it!! sorted!! thanks XsCrunchee Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xScrunchee Posted June 13, 2008 Author Share Posted June 13, 2008 Will definitely let you all know if/when we plan to go there. Great idea for a birthday pressie-I bet she will love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
