What is Bosavern Community Farm

Bosavern Farm is a Cornwall Council owned organic farm on the outskirts of St Just (in Penwith - Maps) which has been used to encourage new farmers into agriculture since WW1. In 2009 Cornwall Council considered selling the site but after representation and proposals from the local community an 18 month lease has been granted from April 2010 to the Lands End Peninsula Community Land Trust (a not for profit company). This period is to (1) show that the community can manage the farm and (2) to raise the funds to purchase the site. We plan to grow vegetables, and keep chickens and pigs, which will be sold through our farm shop.

We need your help

This is an exciting time as we set up and develop the community farm so if you would like to get involved in any way please contact us. As with all new 'community enterprises' there is a lot we need - people, equipment and more money to pay for setting up costs. You can help - would you like to Sponsor a Chicken , donate an item on our "'needed items' list or put some volunteer time into one of the many jobs we have to do - from decorating the farmhouse, setting up our farm shop, sorting signs and information sheets for visitors (school trips), designing our publicity, to updating our website - as well as help with the veg growing!

     Come and join the farm community and be part of the adventure.
