Woodoaks Farm in Rickmansworth is on the last push to raise the final £50,000 for its £2.5million Black Barn Project. The farm is a 300-acre site which was previously owned by the Finlay family, who then sold it to the Soil Association Trust in 2020. Since then, the charity has restored more than 3km of hedgerows, established a committed group of volunteers, transitioned the arable land to organic, and welcomed more than 550 children a year as part of its schools programme.
