On our community farm we steward 15.5 acres for a range of crops and food and spaces for the local community, providing 160-200 organic veg boxes delivered by bike and a similar volume of produce to 14 shops, restaurants and bakeries around Bath/Bristol area. We run volunteer and open day opportunities for community to connect to nature and to enjoy being part of the farm. We also train new entrant growers and support them to start their own projects, community farms and social enterprises. We have run a wetland project this year modelling nature friendly farming and engaging local people in nature based activities, climate solutions and learning. We donate food boxes every week to local charities including Julian House as part of our CIC mission to make quality food accessible and reach the people that need it. Our farm provides meaningful and enjoyable employment for 6 people and secure land-based livelihoods for our growers. We have received huge community support through 550 local supporters in a crowdfunder campaign and now are proud to be giving back and supplying regular food to our region and creating opportunities for people and land to flourish together.
Our core stakeholders are our employees and growers who are consulted with at fortnightly meetings and through more formal feedback each growing season. Secondly we consult with the communities we supply food with every autumn with feedback forms and messages asking for input on certain areas of the farm, enterprise and cropping. The same goes for our shops and restaurant outlets and any visitors and volunteers to the farm.
