Community Farm Open Meeting

7pm Tues 13th July, the Skittle Alley, Borough Arms (Goldies)

It’s official! Transition Town Dorchester has secured a first plot of land for the Community Farm project, and the Farm & Garden is ready to move from paper to plot. There was a lot of interest on site at the Open Day, and 13th July will be the event where it all kicks off.

Lots of people will have something to say, and by the end of it there’ll be a knot of folk ready to nurse the Farm into being: twelve months from now they’ll all be old friends, and the Farm will be in the papers as the summer harvest comes in. There’ll be quite a buzz. Why not be part of it?

The land, a two-acre plot at Parkway Farm (to the South of Weymouth College Construction Centre at Poundbury) will be used to establish a community garden and farm for Dorchester residents. The Duchy of Cornwall has been most helpful in making all this possible in a comparatively short time, and has given us some tremendously flexible and sensible guidelines for developing the plans. Making this happen is going to be great fun!

From this…
