Excerpt:
For most of the year, the farm is a busy market garden, but a couple of times a year the team hosts community open days.
“Part of our ideals is to involve the community,” says Warwick Hutchinson, co-founder of the urban farm.
Community is woven through the farm, from the people they employ, to its location, to the subscription boxes, which use the community supported agriculture or CSA model.
Popular with small-scale growers in the US, the CSA model is a symbiotic relationship between farmers and the community. The subscription gives the growers stability and security, allowing them to cover the costs of growing, and the customer a weekly share of seasonal organic produce.
While Hutchinson’s expertise with machinery means he is often about on the farm or on the tractor, these days the farm is in the capable hands of market garden manager Coral Remiro. Remiro works with five market gardeners hailing from different parts of the world.
