Welcome to the Farnham Local Food Initiative

 The Farnham Local Food Initiative is a community run project supported almost entirely by volunteer labour.  We have land at Crondall and Runfold and one of our main aims is to provide Farnham people with locally produced food.  Why?
 
Because:
 
•    We care about the environment and are proud that our produce has virtually no food miles which means we are doing our bit to preserve our planet.
 
•    Our vegetables are the freshest in town being picked on Saturday mornings for collection on Saturday afternoon.
 
•    As they are so fresh, they are still full of the nutrients that are lost in mass produced supermarket veg that has travelled for miles to reach your table.
 
•    Freshness equals taste – the fresher the veg the tastier they are.
 
•    We are cheaper than supermarket produce.
 
•    Although not certified we use organic practices to grow our veg which means everything is free of pesticides.
 
•    Over and above producing we are a community group that is run almost entirely on volunteers.  Anyone who joins may choose to help out with creating the produce although this is not a pre-requisite for joining.  We have many volunteers who help and they do so for different reasons:  To teach their children about how food gets on the table, to learn themselves about growing veg, to join part of a community group to make friends and much more.
 
We currently have places within our scheme if you would like to take produce on a weekly basis.  A two person share is priced at just £30 per month and a family share is £50 which is outstanding value.   Perhaps you may just want to become a member and support our cause at £24 per annum or £2 per month.

As with all community projects we desperately need more help, particularly on the steering group and volunteering in the garden .This project is YOUR project, and if we don’t get enough helpers it will fail and our core group of committed people will burn out! So please come and join us in any small capacity that you can and help us succeed!
