The Community Farm Brief Description of Organisation The Community Farm is a community-owned not-for-profit organic farm that grows, sources and delivers nourishing produce via our award winning veg box scheme. Every year thousands of local people benefit physically and mentally from our communities programme. Visit Website Full Description of Organisation The Community Farm (“The Farm”) grew from the Transition Towns movement. It is a community-owned and supported organic farm founded by volunteers in 2010. Our purpose is nurturing relationships with the land, food and wildlife through an organic Community Farm. By farming in harmony with nature, we produce food that benefits the climate and biodiversity rather than damaging it. By nurturing relationships, we spread that impact into our community, and help others understand how their food choices impact the environment. Community is key to everything we do: we aim to grow community as much as food. Here communities are the webs of life that are connected with the farm. From the microbes in our soil to the birds in the hedges to our members and the people caring for our land, our habitats and growing our crops, to those buying, packing and delivering our boxes. Working with our communities, we grow, source and deliver organic produce and groceries to customers within 15 miles of The Farm, via our award-winning weekly veg box scheme and wholesale customers. Supporting this we run engagement activities. These include volunteering sessions, outreach activities, an intensively supported wellbeing programme, school programmes and food, farming and wildlife events on our beautiful land overlooking Chew Valley Lake, 11 miles from Bristol and Bath. Our engagement activities bring people together to gain skills and learn about sustainable, low impact and organic horticultural practices, as well as the opportunity to connect with and learn about the land and its inhabitants. The Community Farm was founded as a Community Benefit Society; a structure that promises to exist only for the purposes of its community, and the rules it has agreed it will abide by.

Job opportunity at Bath City Farm - Trustees Previous Job Next Job Bath City Farm was established in 1995, when a group of residents campaigned to the local council for a previously tenanted farm to be provided to the community, for the purposes of creating a community farm. It is now one of the largest City Farms in the country, situated on 37 acres of ancient farmland within the protected World Heritage landscape of Bath, with some of the best views across Bath and the Avon Valley. From the beginning our vision has been to build a healthy community rooted in nature, food, farming and each other.  As a welcoming urban farm, we use our unique setting and targeted projects to educate, improve wellbeing and transform lives.

We currently have a board of 10 trustees with a broad range of expertise. The board is responsible for overseeing the strategy and legal compliance of the Farm.
