What to Expect

JARSQUAD brings people together through communal food-preservation, to practice sharing ingredients, recipes, and know-how by making jams and preserves as a ‘squad’.

What we'll be doing together:

At this HARVEST HANDS event, we'll do a farm visit to Tamar Organics - an organic seed company on Cathamartha Farm, in Launceston. There we will learn about tomato seed saving, and be able to. take some prepared seed home to grow (bring a small jar if so), and we'll help preserve the pulp as well.

No previous experience necessary - we will be shown what to do.

We'll have time to have lunch together so bring a packed lunch and snacks to share. Teas, coffee, cordial and cake will be provided. Jordan will then lead a farm tour after lunch. We aim to head back around 3pm, to arrive back to Plymouth around 4pm.

Travel & Car-shares between Milehouse Park & Ride and Tamar Organics: Let us know if you'd like a lift/car share back from Milehouse Park & Ride to Tamar Organics.

IF you DO need a lift, please fill out our form HERE: https://forms.gle/AV9hJ27kkvCESUaJ8

You'll be prompted at the end of check-out to acknowledge that you've filled the consent form for accepting a lift if you need one.

Meet us at the Milehouse Park & Ride near Argyle Home Park to set off together. See image for the exact meet-up spot, circled in orange.


Carshare is encouraged as parking at the farm is limited and prioritised for farm staff. Please let us know if it makes more sense for you to meet us at Tamar Organics directly, and we can coordinate. We aim to arrive there at 9:45am for a 10am start.

ANY QUESTIONS not covered in our FAQ below? PLEASE GET IN TOUCH! Email: hello@jarsquad.com

FAQs

  • Is the farm wheelchair accessible?

    The seed saving and preparation activity will take place in the warehouse which has uneven ground but is shady and step-free. The toilets are all one step up and not wheelchair accessible unless that person can manage one step and navigating a door by themselves.

    There is a step-free toilet a distance away which will require some advanced coordination. Please if you are coming with a wheelchair and require this, do let us know in advance and we will do our best to accommodate, and address any additional access questions.

  • Do I have to bring anything?

    We ask attendees to be suitably dressed for the weather and to bring a water bottle for hydration as well as sunscreen if sunny.

    You are also requested to bring a packed lunch and snacks to share.

    We'll have boxes and bags for tomato pulp to take back to JarSquad HQ but you're welcome to bring your own as well.

    If you'd like to take some seeds back to grow, please bring along a small jar.

  • How much should I pay?

    Our foraging walks, farm visits and sessions are offered for free but booking on helps us plan better. We request a donation deposit of £2, especially if you are requesting a ride share as we will be reimbursing drivers for mileage from this collection as well as from funding.

    Deposits can be refunded if you need when you show up.

    We reserve the right to cancel the event if there are fewer than 5 bookings.

  • But I can't afford to attend?

    JarSquad offers free tickets as it is important to us that our events are financially accessible for everyone.

    Please pick the "I'll bring a cash donation / I need a free ticket" if that's needed. :)

  • I don't know how to make online payments. Can I bring a cash contribution instead?

    Yes, we have an option for a "I'll bring a cash donation" ticket where you bring a cash contribution if you are unable to make online card payments.

  • What is solidarity economy?

    We understand 'solidarity economy' to mean actions such as 'mutual aid', or arrangements that prioritize social benefits over financial profits, often involving the active participation of people involved to shape these actions/arrangements.

    We'd love if you'd like to be part of our 'squad' in this more involved way! We warmly welcome chats (whilst chopping!) about what it means to co-create a gift economy, and how we already participate in alternative and diverse economies here in Plymouth.

  • I'm driving and I'd like to offer a ride

    That's very kind as we may need just one more driver/car! We encourage carpooling as parking at the farm is limited, and to make travel easier and more sustainable.

    However, to ensure everyone’s safety, we may need to verify that drivers offering rides have valid insurance, a roadworthy vehicle, and, where applicable, the appropriate licenses.

    If you’re offering a lift, please be prepared for a quick check as this helps us keep the group safe and comfortable.

    Please reach out to us via email: hello@jarsquad.com with subject line "offering a ride"
