A small group interested in food and farming is working
with a local farmer on a community farm project. We
are researching this and working towards a public meeting
on 23rd March. The form the farm would take has yet to be
worked out, but we hope it will provide both:
-
An opportunity to invest in a project that will supply a
variety of local food directly [work not necessary, but open
days, events and workshops available!]
-
An opportunity for those who wish to have food in part
exchange for work [provided they have the necessary
skills]
We are talking to the Low Carbon Exeter group about their
farm project and hope to visit the Stroud farm which has
been set up for a long time and is thriving
and expanding.
At this stage we need to know who in CCA is interested in
this project - this would not necessarily involve coming
to meetings or any work on your part, but we do need to
know there's support out there and potential participants
once the project gets going.
