What this is about?

We know you are passionate about growing food locally in a sustainable way, paying a good wage to growers and supporting community food production that anyone can enjoy.

At Hogacre Common Eco Park Community Allotment we are employing a grower to grow nutritious food with the community. 

We need your help to fund our Community Grower for four more months, until our grant applications come through. We are looking to raise £4000.

And you can join us to grow fruit and veg (Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10.30-16.00, or at Oxgrow on Sundays 13.00-16.00) and take home delicious local produce for free! No experience needed!

Please donate using the Donate button on the right.

Thank you for your donation! Check our website to keep up-to-date with how much we have raised.

Hogacre Common Eco park is the former sports field of Corpus Christi College.

With streams on three sides and mature woodland to the north and east, this 14 acres is now managed by the community. It includes: new deciduous woodland, wild flower meadow, heritage orchard and a Community Allotment.

We keep bees to pay our rent of a jar of honey a year!
