Bosavern Community Farm needs help

Not quite sure the best place to put this, but this was my best guess. Came in from the Soil Association.

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.

Sadly the public sees folk like this doing very nicely and think all soc ents are the same. I can assure you that is not the case, I'm living and breathing proof Rolling Eyes

At least the opportunities are there.
