What is a Community Farm?

A Community Farm is a not for profit project which links local people with the farm where their food is produced. Food is produced in an environment, which reconnects people with how and where their food is grown and invites you to become part of that process and help build a sustainable future. It is a farm which encourages participation in all aspects of growing - a place to work, to learn and to have fun.

Why do we need a Community Farm?

We want to create a unique model of how food is grown, distributed and consumed. Food is central to us all and should be celebrated and enjoyed and we want to re-establish the connection to the land and how our food is produced. The world is changing and changing fast. Our Community Farm will grow food using organic principles which will respect the environment and wildlife and which demonstrate a sustainable model of farming which helps to protect the future of the planet.
