The community Farm lies adjacent to an artificial lake at Chew Magna. Good organic food is grown and distributed to the local population by way of veg boxes. Anyone who wants to visit can do so by clicking on this link https://www.thecommunityfarm.co.uk/ and seeing for themselves what goes on.

We visited a laid back event where we were encouraged to make contact with nature, walk around and observe things, and we ended up on a large field doing aerobic exercises. We did not expect to be there the whole day so left after a couple of hours but enjoyed the exercise and the freedom to be whatever we wanted to be.  One lady was used to organising groups and was grateful to be on the receiving end of the organised.  The images speak for themselves.

healthy wood chips

general view – not glamorous but does the job

courgettes

runner beans in all their profligate glory

lovely to see such rosy apples so early in the year

someone is very tidy minded

almost a work of art if not the real thing
