Our Story

Located on the A3071 in West Cornwall near St Just-in-Penwith and overlooking the sea, Bosavern Community Farm is run by Bosavern Community Enterprises Ltd, a not-for-profit Social Benefit Society.

See an overview of our farm at https://online.fliphtml5.com/kakjx/xlzp/#p=16

Our Farm Aims are:

  1. To produce and sell local and sustainable food
  2. To provide community access to land
  3. To provide a welcoming space and opportunities for people to come together and learn about growing food, regenerative agriculture, conservation and healthy, sustainable living

We are only able to progress our sustainability aims by working in partnership with many other individuals and organisations both locally and strategically. Read more about our partnerships and funders here.

 

In episode 2 of our Twist & Sprout Podcast, councillor Sue James, BCFC trustee Rob Pickering, and head grower Hugh Taylor discuss how Bosavern Community Farm began.
