Bentley Urban Farm

03/06/2026

Did you know that Bentley Urban Farm has seedlings and seeds available on a donation or exchange basis? We're raising money to cover our new overheads, so all donations are welcome. But we also like plants and seeds and are happy to swap, especially if it is something we haven't tried growing before 🙂

There's a plant rack with an honesty box outside the carpark end gate and many more plants and a seed exchange available on site. Pop down on a Wednesday or Friday between 10am and 5pm, or a Saturday between 12pm and 5pm to find out more x

Great farm meeting today. It sounds like BUF is going to be the place to be if you want to learn about all things compost and organic fertiliser! 😃

This week the BUMS (Bentley Urban Morris Side) were taught a dance a little closer to home, a Lincolnshire Broom Dance which was taught to us by Chris and Lucy from Rattlejag.

We will be dancing it at the Powerful South Yorkshire CRAP HOUSE! demo in Doncaster on Saturday June 20th. Come and join us at Click Corner from 11am onwards. And if you want to learn the new art of Protest Morris, some to the farm on Fridays from 6pm 🙂

Happy May Day everyone!

If it feels like summer, it might be because the BUMS (Bentley Urban Morris Side) "danced up the sun" on Bentley pit top this morning to welcome in the summer.

No need to thank us 😉, it was a joy. We can't wait for the next opportunity to dance.

If you fancy getting involved send us a message or pop down to the farm for a chat on a Wednesday, Friday or Saturday 🙂

Hope you can join us as we launch our fight against crap housing and dodgy landlords!

Doncopolitan, and are proud to be amongst the many groups from South Yorkshire who have come together to form Powerful South Yorkshire (PSY), a new collective of renters and not-for-profit groups from across Doncaster, Barnsley, Rotherham and Sheffield that have formed to fight wealth inequality, and build strong, resilient communities that act in solidarity with one another.

Our launch event will be in Doncaster on Saturday 20th June, starting at Clock Corner at 11am. CRAP HOUSE? is out first campaign. It will target dodgy landlords and unsafe homes and demand that our elected regional mayor and local authorities use the powers that they already possess to finally start to enforce the laws that are supposed to protect renters. If you want to get involved with PSY, or would like to tell them about your experience with unhealthy properties or crap landlords, then drop them an email at:

Hey folks,
There was terrible news last week that the Palestinian member of La Via Campesina along with the Local Seed Bank have been raided and people abducted. International Civil Society response has been cautious due to fear of reprisals but we're ok to share this article. Hopefully there will be a template letter to MPs in the coming days but this is a primer for any advocacy or awareness raising you may be able to do.
https://www.gmfreeze.org/2025/12/04/israeli-military-raids-palestinian-seed-bank/

BUF is closely connected to this- because we are members of the Landworkers' Alliance, which is the UK member of La Via Campesina
..So it's the equivalent to it happening to BUF (if we were guardians of a seed archive on which South Yorkshire depended).

So please read, educate and share.

Solidarity between growers and community food sovereignty activists ✊🖤🌾

The premises of the Palestinian seed bank have been raided by the Israeli military, with eight male agricultural workers who were on the premises abducted and vital equipment for the preservation of Palestinian food security and Food Sovereignty destroyed.
