The Sussex farm that gardens by the light of the moon. Tablehurst as it is today was set up as an extension to Emerson College 20 years ago, so that the students could learn more about where their food came from.
The farm covers 500 acres, with horned Sussex cattle, pigs and sheep. The so-called garden – more field-scale horticulture than ornamental – is 16 acres, with six large polytunnels to extend the season. Many staff live on site and there is a care home at the heart of the place. Home - Community supported agriculture. Sustain: the alliance for better food and farming. Riverford.

That’s why we offer a wide range of learning opportunities both on the ground and online. Come out to the farm for everything from gardening workshops to farmer field days to student field trips. As our farm and garden programs grow, so do our educational opportunities!
