What's on in Little Gorwood

Devon, England

The proper local stuff the big sites overlook — from open mic nights to dog shows, toddler groups to talks about local history that turn out to be more interesting than you'd think. Little Gorwood keeps its calendar surprisingly full, and we've tracked down the lot. Coffee mornings that turn into proper catch-ups. Quiz nights where the same team wins every week and everyone pretends not to mind. Craft fairs, food markets, community screenings, and workshops teaching you things you didn't know you wanted to learn. All the things that make living somewhere feel like actually living somewhere, not just sleeping there.

Growing Perennial Vegetables – The Future of Farming and Food

We’re excited for you to join us for a very special event at Birch Farm, of The Collective at Woolsery, marking the end of our first full year growing perennial vegetables at scale and developing them as a viable and delicious food source. At Birch Farm, we believe perennialfoods will play a crucial role in building resilient, biodiverse farming systems in the face of a changing climate. By integrating Food Forest principles and perennial growing systems into our existing market garden model—rooted in Natural Farming and agroforestry—we aim to inspire others to reimagine how we grow, cook, and eat. Why Attend? Over the past year (2025), we’ve been on a journey of discovery—experimenting with a wide range of perennial vegetables, collaborating with chefs, and learning firsthand about their potential in the field and the kitchen. This event is a chance to see the process in action, taste the results, and join a growing community of growers, chefs, and food lovers who are excited by the possibilities of perennial crops. What to Expect: Reflections from the Field: What worked, what didn’t, and what we’ve learned about growing perennials in a market garden setting. Tasting & Cooking Demos: Sample dishes prepared with perennial vegetables by our Head Chef Toby Neal, alongside Jack Feeny of No Mise en Plastic—showcasing new flavour profiles and cooking techniques.
