Lords Park Tree Planting-68.jpg

Glasbren, the Welsh language word for 'sapling', is a non-profit community land project based on cliffs where the Taf and Tywi rivers meet. We’re offering accessible pathways into wild & locally-grown food and a deeper relationship to the living world - for our own health, the health of our communities and the health of the planet.

For 5 years, we’ve fed local people in southwest Carmarthenshire through our community-supported-agriculture (CSA) veg box scheme, welcomed volunteers, taught about food growing, plant medicine and sustainable living and shared nature connection practices. We’re also planting trees, creating community gardens, orchards and habitat for wildlife and slowly restoring traditional lifeways and a deep connection to the seasons, place & an authentic food culture. We’re working hard to make local food and nature accessible to all.

We hope you can stand alongside us to imagine local people wandering amongst beautiful and abundant food landscapes and grassland meadows, rich in biodiversity, a flourishing local food scene and a renewed link between the local community and the heritage, ecology and unique spirit of this magical place - for the good of nature, people, climate and culture. 

We’re trying to weave our lives back into the tangle of nature, steward land for future generations & gather a resilient community around the table, or the smoking fire, once again.

Upcoming events

  • Dawn Birdsong Walks

    Join local ecologist Tim Hollis, and Abel Pearson, nature-connection guide and farmer at Lords Park farm, for an immersion into the beauty of the Springtime dawn chorus, learning both how to identify birds by their song and tools for tuning more deeply into your senses and your connection to nature.

    Saturday 22nd March 2026, 5.30am-9.30am Saturday 5th April 2026, 5.30am-9.30am Saturday 10th May 2026 5.00am-9.00am

  • Community Farm Days

    Monthly Saturdays - next up Saturday 7th February 2026 COED | TREES

    Join us on the farm for seasonal activities, fun for all ages and a bring and share lunch. We like to mark key transitions of the year with seasonal celebrations, bringing back to life the community rituals in new and creative ways. In February, it’s our big tree planting day!

    These days are FREE and open to all ages. Let us know if you’re coming on the button below!

  • Volunteer Days

    Every Thursday, 9.30-3

    Volunteering at Glasbren is not only a chance to join a vibrant, welcoming community around the table or the smoking fire, it’s an immersion into permaculture, regenerative living, ecological food growing and a deeper relationship with the living world.

    No experience necessary. No duress. All welcome.
