Growing Communities

Who we are

Growing Communities is changing the food system one carrot at a time. We work to harness the collective buying power and skills of our community to reshape the food and farming systems that feed us, providing people with real, practical alternatives to the current damaging system.

Our organic fruit and veg scheme and farmers' market aim to provide more secure and fairer markets for the farmers, growers and producers whom we believe should be the foundation of a sustainable agriculture system.

Our pioneering and award-winning farms in Hackney and Dagenham produce fantastic local salad, fruit and veg, while also training new growers.

We also consider the bigger picture and work to create wider change: articulating our vision, advocating in support of our aims and replicating our projects.
