The Community Farm
The Community Farm is a community-owned social enterprise, growing and selling organic food through a box delivery service.
Our aim is to help people develop a better understanding of where their food comes from, reconnect with the land on which their food is grown, and learn more about sustainable farming.
More than 500 local people share ownership of the farm and have a say in how it is run. We lease land near Chew Magna in Somerset, UK, where we grow vegetables and fruit organically.
Edible Bristol
Edible Bristol volunteers cultivate food justice by supporting communities, individuals and businesses to grow food across the city.
No space is too small or too large to cultivate crops to support the communities and citizens of Bristol. From back gardens and allotments to community spaces, parks, and those lost, unloved corners, growing food is an act of defiance, of revolution and system change.
It begins a conversation and brings people together through a shared connection. After all, we all need to eat, so “if you eat, you’re in.”
Across Bristol, over 40 edible gardens in parks, street corners and station platforms have been built and planted with our IncrEdible volunteers and partners. The food that grows there is free for anyone to take and eat.
Grow Timsbury
Grow Timsbury is a CIC formed in 2021 to develop a community growing project which will support and nurture people’s health and wellbeing and celebrate our local area. Our current aim is to acquire a piece of land where we can support the growing of healthy, sustainable, low cost food, whilst also seeking to improve biodiversity and climate resilience. Training in its widest sense will also be central to what we do.
We are currently seeking a suitable piece of land, in Timsbury, to begin this venture, but in the meantime we have been busy raising awareness of our plans, through attending local events and forming contacts with other growing groups in Bath and North East Somerset. We have also joined forces with a local veg box scheme to run a monthly food stall at the Conygre Hall mini market. Here, we offer free tasters and recipes using in season fruit and vegetables.

We sell our produce through our Vegetable Box Scheme and a Saturday market. Boxes can be ordered for Home Delivery or picked up from any of our Collection Points. All orders are managed online. You can supplement your order with extra helpings of fresh organic vegetables & fruit, free range eggs and when the sheep and goats are producing, you can add in dairy produce from our local suppliers.
Lush Greens
We are a small vegetable farm (market garden) in Whitchurch, Bristol. We grow a variety of seasonal vegetables using a no-dig system, where the soil is not turned and disturbed to allow the web-of-life underground (worms, bacteria, fungi) to thrive. This leads to healthier and more nutritious vegetables, more above-ground life (insects, birds, reptiles), and allows the soil to sequester more carbon dioxide, helping to tackle climate change.
Not only do we want our vegetables to be eaten as locally as possible to where they are grown, we want to create other benefits to the local community by creating opportunities for local people to come onto the land to connect with each other and with nature, to benefit mental health and tackle social isolation.
