Greenslate Farm

Greenslate Farm A therapeutic, educational and wellbeing hub run by a dedicated team of staff and volunteers in the heart of the Billinge and Orrell community.

After a successful bid to Wigan MBC Greenslate Farm is now a Community Farm. We provide many services, such as a Care Farm for people with learning difficulties, educational visits for schools and colleges, mental wellbeing activities in nature, local regenerative food growing, and a hub to support other charities and community organisations. As a not for profit, self funded charity, we rely heav

ily on the generous fundraisers, service users and volunteers who make it all possible. The success of the scheme will rely on getting as many local people involved as possible. You will be able to take part in many different ways allowing you to fit in at whatever level of commitment suits your current lifestyle. Volunteering opportunities include working on the farm, maintenance, fundraising and assisting with community run workshops, skill swaps and community fun days.

Lovely Greenslate plums freshly picked today. £2.50 per punnet 🍑🍑🍑

Cucumbers and courgettes are available as well for £1 per fruit. We grow some really lovely types of courgettes:
- Trieste White Cousa Courgette. Very pale, nearly white fruit with tender flesh.
- 'Verde di Italia' Pale Green Ribbed Courgette. A pale green fruit with flesh is very tender and particularly finely-flavoured.
- 'Striato d'Napoli' Courgette. Long, pretty fruit with alternating light and dark green stripes. The flesh doesn't go as 'soft' when cooked as other courgettes do.

All at the market stall/ Honesty Box stall ☀️🍑🥒☀️

Everything we grow on the farm is 100% naturally grown without the use of chemicals and grown with organic seeds.

Thank you to the team at Talking Therapies who came down and cleared the overgrown flower borders, creating a therapeutic space for all to enjoy. Being outdoors among nature has a powerful, positive effect on mental well-being, but it takes graft to maintain these spaces and we couldn't do it all without a little help.

A huge thank you to the CSG Workforce Governance team who spent the day revamping the education zone and footpaths in our woodland. The area is an important space for our visiting school groups, toddlers, and adults with SEND to learn bush craft, nature based activities, and woodland conservation skills. Thanks to the team, these groups can now enjoy learning in a safe, calming environment.

Try some of our lovely courgettes 🌞🥒🥒🥒🌞

Like 'Striato d’Napoli' with it’s long, pretty fruit with alternating light and dark green stripes. It is a bit firmer in the flesh than most other courgettes.

Or our grower Celia’s personal favourites: the pale green/nearly white varieties with a very tender and particularly finely-flavoured flesh.

£1 per courgette at the market stall.
