A Day at Hen Corner

‘Since moving into her West London home a few years ago, Sara Ward and her husband Andy have industriously set up Hen Corner, where they now have a stunning kitchen garden – with raised beds full of seasonal crops – fruit and nut trees, a flock of clucking hens and a beehive with busy bees hard at work making honey.’Michele Jameson, Country Living MagazineWe are Hen Corner.We love the bee keepers, the veggie bed diggers, the jam makers and cider drinkers, the chicken fanciers and the real bread bakers.But not just in the deepest darkest countryside or the far, far away villages but right here in our cities and towns.So, come on a course and join us on the journey…Find our reviews onTripadvisor

Bees

Bees are fabulous and, whilst their honey is delicious, they pollinate so many of our favourite foods.

Bread & Baking

We've been baking at home for ages and have been running our weekly Micro Bakery, selling bread to our local community, since 2015.
Come and learn some new skills, both in person and online!

Chickens

We’ve been keeping hens, a collection of pure breeds, hybrids and bantams, here in London, since 2007. We currently have 29 feathery friends!

Truly inspiring and a great first step on the road to bee keeping. I highly recommend this course to anyone who cares about where their food comes from or just wants to find out more about the fascinating honeybee. Keep up the great work Sara.’ Spencer, Previous Course Guest
