Lawrence Weston Community Farm

Welcome

Lawrence Weston Community Farm is a community-managed project that aims to improve the quality of life for local people and it's service-users.

The farm does this by working with members of the local community, and others, to provide a range of innovative and exciting, educational, social, environmental, economic and recreational activities.

As well as providing opportunities to experience the daily delights of community farming and gardening, the farm also:

Encourages healthy eating and exercise - wholesome food, exercise through gardening and practical work, cooking events . . .

Produces fresh, affordable local food - vegetables, meat, honey, eggs . . .

Brings people and communities together - make new friends, volunteering and placement opportunities, activities for children and young people, a safe and secure public green space . . .

Delivers education and skill development - hands on enjoyable learning opportunities, short course, accredited training, school groups . . .

Admission is free, and we are open all year round, so please come and visit us soon!

Community Orchard?

We would like to know what you think about the idea of establishing a Community Orchard on a currently unused part of the farm site.

Amongst other things, the Community Orchard will:

• Create a new open access community space in Lawrence Weston
• Provide volunteering and placement opportunities
• Enable local people to gain practical, hands-on environmental skills
• Include 30 traditional apple trees
• Act as a venue for community and arts events
• Include picnic benches and tables
