Community allotments

The Farm has put aside an area for community allotments which are managed by Tim Hamblin of the Well Bean Project in Wincanton. The project helps people, especially families with young children to grow their own vegetables. Now in its second year, we have 10 local families growing their own veg. Its really great to see the land being put to such productive use and to watch young children enjoying the experience. Of course, being an organic farm all the families have had to grow their veg using organic principles.

Last month the allotments were visited by John Homan of Somerset Farm Radio and TV, who came with his camera and filmed the allotments and interviewed some of the allotmenteers, so we are looking forward to seeing the results.
