Coming soon: a new community farm in London?
Tucked away in South London, close to Sutton, is a community farm project that I have loosely been involved with called Sutton Community Farm. It’s a 7.5 acre plot of land, tended to by an enthusiastic community of volunteers and groups. They have lots of activity days that I would highly recommend if you fancy heading a bit out of the city and getting your hands dirty!
Right now, an opportunity has come up to buy some land close to Sutton Community Farm. This is a beautiful 35 acre plot and could be London’s biggest community farm. Anna Francis from BioRegional has been leading an effort to raise the funds and put together a business plan for how it can work. So far, she has received community share pledges for £900,000, almost hitting the target.
So if you want to find out more and invest in a social and environmental project, go check out the page on the Sutton Community Farm website to find out more.
And perhaps next year we can have a big Brighter Future social on the community farm!
