This is a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) scheme on an existing farm in a rural village in the UK. A disused commercial glasshouse, a strip of agricultural land and a polytunnel will be utilised to grow food and initiate a veg-box scheme, supply local pubs and businesses with fresh, organically grown produce, and become a site to host educational visits, talks and workshops. The aim is to reduce food miles and packaging, teach people where our food comes from and how to grow food sustainably, encourage proper land stewardship, restore local food sovereignty, and provide a space for local community to come together and exercise mind and body. Beneficiaries: Upwards of 30 local people on a regular basis in working sessions and growing produce. Groups of pupils from the village school.
Emergence Foundation is a registered charity in England and Wales, no. 1050701.
