We are in the process of purchasing the property next door to us and some land adjacent to the site. The land will be developed using both Permaculture and Biodynamic methods. The food that we grow we will be able to serve to the guests who stay with us at the centre- and for ourselves. The chapel will be developed for self catered accommodation, a larger yoga studio and will also serve as an ideal venue for us to run Permaculture design/ Biodynamic courses in the future. The project will be a place where people can come and visit/ stay/ volunteer and learn about Permaculture/ Biodynamics/ Yoga/ Meditaion.

We teach school children about sustainable farming from our basecamp a one acre permaculture inspired centre on a landfill site in our beautiful pennine valley.
We grow and sell half a ton of salad a year from three large polytunnels, rear poultry and are developing a micro dairy enterprise with two jersey heifers who are also being trained to do draft work.
We also have a 15 acre woodland with grazing on the nearby hills and we run residential coursed for local city youth.
We are also doing lots of outreach work in local cities to bring the farm to the city.
Our aim is to help to create careers in sustainable farming in our pennine landscape.

Since 1998 we have created over fifty community garden spaces and have provided on-site training for hundreds of volunteers and young people in basic construction, woodwork and design, planning and community arts.
We facilitate a sense of community through encouraging people's involvement in decision making and engaging people in improving their area whilst increasing their confidence, skills and employability.
Hyde Park Source has a long history of providing great volunteering opportunities for a wide range of people. Our work has been supported by volunteers since we began in 1998; we value this contribution and are committed to follow good practice and guidelines. We appreciate any commitment to the work of HP Source and value the time and energy our volunteers give to the organisation.
At Hyde Park Source we offer a supported volunteering environment, as well as help with progression into further training and employment.

We offer a range of projects that volunteers can get involved in. Our volunteers can gain experience working with community groups and young people while learning skills such as: food growing, basic construction and joinery, gardening, mosaicing and urban art.

If you're interested in volunteering with us and want to know more feel free to contact us at [email protected].

Horton Community Farm is a project run by a group of local people on 2 acres of Cecil Avenue Allotments. We are creating a thriving permaculture project for local food, nature, environmental education and horticultural therapy. We are established as a cooperative organisation and registered as a limited company. We operate as a social enterprise and any profit we generate is invested back into the project.

We have a spectacular forest garden under glass, which we use as an educational and inspirational area, as well as a food production area, and sell the crops. We grow and sell the following from this area: grapes, peaches, nectarines, figs, cherries, apricots, hops, and a variety of herbs including thyme, dill, and sage. We also use permaculture principles across the rest of the site where the main food production is done. We heavily promote biodiversity to help us create a balanced system to reduce pest and disease issues. We minimise outside inputs, buying in no outside fertility or growing medium. We reuse and recycle where possible, using growing techniques such as blocking to reduce our reliance on plastics, and promote healthy transplants.

Bedford Fields Community Forest Garden is an open access garden in Woodhouse, LS6, that aims to educate people on how forest gardening can be a viable alternative to food production, resilient to climactic and social change. We aim to educate volunteers and the local community about forest gardening and wider environmental issues through workdays, workshops and discussion. We believe in the ‘urbalisation’ of our cities – ‘bringing rural life to the city’. Scroll down to see our latest poster of what we’re doing now
Since its inception in February 2010 we've held regular workdays and now offer a variety of workshops and events to skill the urbanite into an 'urbalite'!

The Holme Valley Gardening Network was established in January 2009. In that time the network has created 22 growing spaces for local people. Two of which are to be used for a forest garden and a no dig veg plot. The network aims are to teach and demonstrate permaculture, visit other projects and offer permaculture education in the Holme Valley a Pennine town in West Yorkshire

ThosePlantPeople are developing a 4 acre piece of land from an ornamental garden and grazing land into a highly productive system. Many fruit trees are now producing good crops with the understory still developing. They aim to grow as much of their own food and fuel whilst providing a haven for biodiversity. They will be guided by permaculture principles to make decisions about how to adapt the land and to pass this experience and knowledge to others. Their expert knowledge of horticulture has led to research and experiments in edible polycultures which are still evolving.

We are a small group of activists interested in local food production and sustainably living. Our land based project includes 2 urban households, with gardens and an allotment.
Household 1: Full time working couple retrofitted house, storage development, garden: growing food, building cob ovens, making soap, jam and wine, building community by growing food in a neighbours garden. Transport – bikes and car share
Household 2: 1 part time worker,a student nurse and 3 children, retrofitted house, storage development; garden growing food (salad and fruit) greenhouses, hen ducks and guinea pigs, next steps: grey water treatment, Transport - cycling and car share
Allotment- providing fruit and vegetables crops half forest garden, half annual production in raised beds with espaliered apples

Edibles is based at Paddock Farm in West Slaithwaite. It is a collectively managed business established by Rosie Lonnon, Pip Lane and Steve Smith and incorporated in 2010 as Limited Liability Partnership. We are creating a working permaculture farm with three main purposes - firstly to grow food year-round for sale locally; secondly to inspire and train people to grow food by running courses, having demonstration plots, activity days, guided visits, regular gardening days, providing volunteering opportunities and outreach work in schools, businesses, community organisations; thirdly to set up a nursery of edible plants for sale to individuals, schools and other organisations.

Our vision is to establish a viable business that makes a significant contribution to practical resilience building within our community by contributing a significant quantity of locally grown food, supporting more people to grow food, making available edible plants and to contributing to the skills and behaviour shifts that communities will need if they are to respond successfully to the twin challenges of climate change and peak oil.
