SPEAKERS & PANELLISTS
Jo Facer, Laurelbank Farm
Jo worked for many years in construction in her home city of London before moving to Northern Ireland to establish Laurelbank Farm, a 7-acre organic smallholding. Laurelbank’s vision is to reconnect people with the land and to nourish and empower communities through farming and feasting.
At its heart is a thriving CSA scheme, and alongside her work on the farm, Jo is an author, teacher, willow weaver, and brewer. In 2023 she co-authored The Edible Flower: A Modern Guide to Growing, Cooking, and Eating Edible Flowers and in 2026 she joined the CSA Network UK Board.
She also founded and runs the Growing Academy, a 30-week organic fruit and vegetable growing course based at Laurelbank.
