Educational Opportunities for All Ages

We are passionate about teaching and inspiring individuals, especially local people and children, to engage in growing their own food. By participating in our programmes, you will learn valuable skills and gain hands-on experience in sustainable farming, benefiting both your health and the environment.

Combatting Food Waste

 

Our mission includes raising awareness about the importance of reducing food waste. By choosing our farm's produce, you contribute to a more sustainable food system, helping to ensure that high-quality, fresh vegetables are not wasted and are accessible to the community.

Activities

Community Gardening Workshops

Our community gardening workshops aim to teach local residents the fundamentals of growing their own food. Participants will learn about soil health, planting techniques, and sustainable gardening practices. These hands-on sessions are designed for both beginners and experienced gardeners. Attendees will leave with the knowledge and confidence to start their own gardens at home, reducing food miles and promoting healthy eating.

Local Produce Sales

At Bedminster Down Community Farm, we grow a variety of seasonal vegetables available for purchase directly from the farm. Buying locally grown produce not only supports our community farm but also ensures you receive the freshest vegetables with minimal food miles. Our produce is grown using sustainable methods, ensuring high quality and nutritious food. By choosing our local produce, you are contributing to a more sustainable and resilient local food system.

Our Community in Action

 Positive Impact on Our Community

"It was a fantastic opportunity to get out of the office whilst still doing something that positively impacted both the business and the community as a whole. I enjoyed working with different people in the business that I would have otherwise probably never have encountered which gave me the opportunity to better understand different roles across the business."

 

"This was a great event that really engaged all of the volunteers. The farm is an wonderful venue which is run by an inspiring couple and dedicated volunteers. By working as a group, I felt it gave us all the opportunity to get to know members of the wider team and learn a bit more about each other. All in all a very successful day's volunteering which delivered a great outcome for the Community Farm."
