Stroud Community Agriculture (SCA) provides a link between people and farming. It does this by providing an opportunity for people to support and benefit from farm projects in various ways;
-
by paying towards the costs of running farm projects,
-
by receiving a share of the produce
-
by volunteering time to help with farm work and other work linked to the running of SCA,
-
by setting up and attending events linked to the farm,
-
or just by being interested in SCA
SCA aims to provide as many people as possible in the Stroud area with opportunities to make these direct links with farming and food.
SCA aims to;
-
Pay the people who work on the farm a fair wage
-
Develop a rich variety of crops, livestock and other projects that meet the needs of the farm and the people who support the farm
-
Provide opportunites for as many people as possible to make connections to the farm in whatever ways work for them.
-
Manage the farm in a way that is sensitive to the environment, wildlife and ecological system that the farm is part of
-
Encourage other, similar projects to set up

Members collect vegetables each week and can also buy a share
of the meat, if they want to. Everyone pays a monthly contribution towards the farm and
a fee for their share of the produce.
We want to encourage people from all backgrounds and
income groups to get involved and have set up a small bursay fund to
provide help if needed.
