Wedmore Village Farm Design

About

Wedmore Village Farm is The Food Forest Projects flagship project. The Food Forest Project is a Somerset based charity that sets up community growing spaces to help tackle food poverty, and biodiversity loss. The farm is home to our Food Bank Market Garden, growing free food for local schools and food banks.

Wedmore Village Farm is socially and environmentally conscious stacked enterprise, which just means a group of community organisations working together on one site. Established in 2023 in the historic village of Wedmore, we offer a space for the community to connect with their land, their grower and their food. We run workshops, events, social programmes such as a Care Farm scheme helping adults with learning difficulties, and hosting the Crockers Centre, Taunton & Bridgwater College to support children with special educational needs and disabilities to transition out of the college environment and into the working environment. Additionally, Men’s Shed have joined us on the farm to address social isolation and mental health issues in men.
