Help us donate food to the Feeding Coventry project

We have now raised over £1300 pounds in donations which translates directly into supplies of our fresh, organic vegetables to two organisations providing food to those in need (one in Coventry and one in Rugby). Thank you to everyone who has donated so far! Add your donation here.

We believe that healthy, local, nourishing food should be available to all, irrespective of circumstances and we would like to make a continuous and regular donation of organic vegetables to help the Feeding Coventry project. You can help us by making a donation of whatever you can afford. More info

Volunteers wanted!

There are plenty of volunteering opportunities at the moment. As well as growing tasks there are many other essential activities available to willing helpers which would make a real difference to the efficient running of the farm. See the volunteering page for more information.

A large share is £82.50 per month for the veg including £2 a month membership fee. This is aimed at families.

A medium share is £51.50 per month. This is more suited to one or two people.

A small share is £38 per month. This is enough for single person.

Veg shares vary in size and type over the year dependent on what is in season on the farm.

We suggest you start with a four week trial before joining as a monthly member. Please complete this form and we will get back to you as soon as possible to confirm.
