Sat 2 May 2026 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM La Croix Regeneration Centre, JE3 7FQ
This is an international celebration of the start of Summer on this organic-certified regenerative farm.
The farmer, Nikki di Gruchy says: ‘Reclaiming one of our ancient land-based festivals, Beltane, also known as May Day, this festival is all about fertility, growth, and renewal. In 2026, this special day is made even more powerful as it aligns with the Full Flower Moon.
‘We would particularly like to share this part of unseen Jersey with our international communities. Come and enjoy the abundance of blossoms in May, and make the most of this chance to access a real Jersey farm where we’re working with nature to restore and regenerate ecosystems and the soil to grow the healthiest, most nutrient-dense food possible.’

Nikki de Gruchy: ‘: ‘In addition, there will be opportunities throughout the day to meet our heritage and rare-breed poultry and our calf, Gabriel. Born 11:11:2025, Gabriel is our 001, the first Jersey calf to be born on the farm in over 50 years. We operate a calf-at-foot or calf-sharing system which means Gabriel stays with his mom, Razzle, and we share her milk with him.
