Community Growing Projects
Building sustainable food systems, one garden at a time
Our Growing Network
Community Patchwork Farm CIC supports a growing network of community growing projects across the UK. These projects bring together garden owners, growers, and volunteers to create sustainable food systems in their local communities.
Each project is unique, reflecting the needs and opportunities of its local area, but all share a common goal: making fresh, locally grown food accessible to everyone while building stronger community connections.
