Whilst food, and by implication farming, is so clearly a part of everyone's lives and is something that should be celebrated and enjoyed, many of us have lost touch with it's importance and less still are involved in producing it. The world is changing and changing fast. If you are concerned about the future of the planet, the use of finite resources or just more interested in growing your own food - The Community Farm is for you.

Our Background

The Community Farm was started by Luke Hasell, Phil Haughton and Jim Twine. Luke and Jim run a business called The Story Group selling organic beef and lamb to local citizens (through a meat box), restaurants like Bordeaux Quay and Schools like St Christophers.

Phil runs The Better Food Company in Bristol. A company fully committed to organic food and farming, Phil has been growing vegetables for his business for the last seven years.

Through working together Luke, Phil and Jim realised they had a shared vision - to work with people from Bristol and the surrounding area to help play a small part in reshaping the way food is grown, sold and consumed through reconnecting the local community with agriculture.

Phil runs The Better Food Company in Bristol. A company fully committed to organic food and farming, Phil has been growing vegetables for his business for the last seven years.Stage one of the The Community Farm project will concentrate on growing vegetables on some fantastic grade one land just off Denny Lane at the heart of the Chew Valley, overlooking the lake, but in time will expand to other enterprises including pigs and poultry.
