Our mission is to have a CSA in every neighbourhood in the UK. How will we achieve that? By helping you with inspiration, training and knowledge.
Do you want to earn a living from farming whilst caring for the planet and building community?
Are you looking for a way to farm which doesn’t need to involve having a background in farming or a family farm? Then the Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) model may be for you.
We currently offer three different forms of training as well as being available at the end of an email or phone. These are our six month online winter training course, “Grow Your Own CSA” in partnership with Tom O’Kane from Cae Tan CSA; our two day face to face training course on “Setting up and Scaling up CSA” with Ed Hamer from Chagfood and our series of six online masterclasses.

CSA must have one of the shortest supply chains of any food-growing business. It’s an efficient, low-waste business model. It is one of the most climate and nature-friendly ways of producing food and other products. Essentially, your produce is grown directly for your customer, so you know what you need to produce.
