Rock Farm is a working market garden, community space and horticultural therapy project on the 6-acre site near Steyning and Horsham operated by One Church Brighton.
At Rock Farm they have developed a community of volunteers who find better health and relationships by spending time on the land. They grow organic fruit and vegetables for markets in Sussex and facilitate therapeutic sessions for a wide range of vulnerable groups.
Rock Farm also hosts like-minded projects, with an emphasis on a stronger community and better health for those involved. Cooking, crafts, bushcraft and small animal tending are included.
Cost– Free to volunteer
