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 a short lease has been granted to the Lands End Peninsula Community Land Trust (a not for profit company). This 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, pigs, and turkeys, which will be sold through our farm shop.

We need your help

This is an exciting time as we establish 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 or put some volunteer time into one of the many jobs we have to do. See what we have been doing on the farm blog.

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