The Organic Growers Gathering 2026
The Organic Growers Gathering is back for 2026!
About the event
The Organic Growers Gathering is organised by growers for growers. From small scale fruit, vegetable, herb and flower growers to land workers, crafters and purveyors of folk music. Whether you’re a master of the soil or a new entrant gaining experience seeding your ideas, there is something here for everyone.
We gather to network, skill share, build community, discover and learn. Expect lots of practical sessions, workshops, break out spaces for skill sharing and networking. As well as organic vegan food, live music, sauna and wellbeing.
This year the gathering will take place at Sandy Lane Farm in Oxfordshire, a new location for 2026.
Saturday is the main event day, packed with sessions across three stages, a dedicated children’s area (the Young Growers Plot) and all the good stuff you’ve come to expect from the OGG, grassroots and outdoor on the farm event.
Arrive on Friday from 3pm to get settled into the campsite, and join us around the fire and at the bar from 9pm – a perfect way to ease in and meet your fellow growers before the main day begins. Then on Sunday, lace up your boots for farm tours hosted by Sandy Lane Farm.
About the venue
Set just outside Oxford on 100 acres of free-draining sandy soil, Sandy Lane Farm is a study in resourceful growing – primarily producing organic vegetables at field scale using no-dig market gardening and protected cropping. With rainfall becoming increasingly unreliable and light sandy soil offering little moisture retention capacity, George and the team have built their practice around moisture preservation, crop diversity, and a deep understanding of what this particular place can do.
Woven into a mixed farming system that includes laying hens, sheep, and pigs, everything grown here is sold directly – through a veg box scheme, a farm shop, and to Oxford institutions via OxFarmtoFork.
Who is this event for?
This event is for anyone who is passionate about organic horticulture and sustainable practices. Connect with fellow growers, attend sessions, discover practical innovations rooted in organic principles, and find your people – whether you’re a seasoned farmer or just getting your hands dirty for the first time. Knowledge, community, and celebration, all in one place.
