Nature is king
Food glorious food
Nature is king
We hope this badger approves of what we're up to. We will always respect its right to be here, along with the roe deer, dragonflies, ladybirds, swallows, huge flock of sparrows and all that will come to our new ponds :)
Access for All
Food glorious food
Nature is king
We are opening up our little patch of countryside for all to enjoy. Parking, paths, seating, some food growing plots - and loos - are all being designed with the less mobile in mind

We aim to feed into the local food supply in a way that respects people and the planet as one (photo: Gabby McVey)
Vision
We are creating a welcoming space in which individuals and groups can participate in projects focused on sustainable healthy food production and other nature-based activities beneficial to the local community and to the planet. (photo: Oli Riley)
Ethos
We are applying permaculture principles - "Earth Care, People Care and Fair Share" - to guide all that takes place on the site. We aim to respect and reflect the needs and desires of local communities in an inclusive way, while focusing on nature-friendly activities aimed at promoting health and well-being in an outdoor environment.

Approach
The Badgers Food Forest CIC will act as a host and facilitator for a range of on-site activities. We are open to groups and individuals wishing to work within our ethos, whether as experienced growers/practitioners or those starting from scratch and wanting to learn by working alongside others. And there's always scope to simply immerse in this quiet rural setting, complete with its stunning views of Mounts Bay and West Cornwall. If you'd like to get involved, please email us on badgersfoodforest@gmail.com
We have a Justgiving page to raise money for project costs - at the moment to improve access for all. Please consider giving a donation if you can:
