Bosavern Community Farm is trying to save itself - selling shares. See website for a lot more details.

It's worked well for Fordhall farm in Shropshire. I'm a share holder. Let's hope it works as well for these chaps.

It certainly has, those kids are coining it in! Talk about using a social enterprise to line your own pockets.
Sorry to be so cynical but they rival HFW, at least he pays his staff!

Should have said, best of luck to the farm.

Who can blame them? When you look at all the funding streams for 'community projects' these days and compare it to that available for private business, it seems that community-ising your farm is the way to go.
No, I won't be going that way.
