5 Acre Farm
Regenerative community interest farm – a space for nature-friendly produce and people.
Now that 5 Acre Farm is an independent Community interest Company (CIC) we wish to see it flourish as a community resource for the people of Backwell and beyond. This fertile Somerset land with its barns and polytunnels on the edge of the village has the potential not just to grow great food and flowers but also to act as a centre for community activity and learning, helping to strengthen Backwell’s quality of life and its environmental credentials.
It is important to those of us who started 5 Acre Farm that we develop ideas and activities with the local community that go well beyond the growing of food. As we find ourselves in a mental health crisis there is increasing realisation of the importance of outdoor activity and connection with the natural world. We very much hope that 5 Acre Farm contributes to the improvement of mental and physical health in some small way.
We have planted the seed with the formation of the CIC – now let’s grow something special together!
