Local Community Market Gardens
A Community Supported Agriculture Scheme in Sheepscombe
Events
Coming Soon
Our new CSA is going very well. Our aim is to use the site as a training area for those wanting to work in growing organic crops or work in a CSA / farming type of environment.
We’ve written two courses to this end – an Entry Level and an Intermediate Level, both being run through the awarding body NOCN.
The intermediate courses starts in January with planned breaks and the Entry level in February.
Contact us for informationEmbracing locally sourced, organic produce is key to prioritising environmental sustainability. These producers play a vital role in creating vibrant, interconnected communities that thrive on shared values and sustainability.
LCMG is a new company supported by Down to Earth Gloucestershire.
At LCMG, we are an example of best practice in no-dig growing. By working in harmony with the soil, we not only preserve its delicate balance but also foster a rich ecosystem teeming with life.
We recognise the profound interconnectedness between soil health, plant vitality, and ecological resilience. Through our conscientious efforts, we aim to leave a positive imprint on the land, nurturing it for generations to come.
You can order what you like from our available crops or get a standard veg box each week. We can deliver them to your door OR you can collect from Painswick Farmers Market.
Find us at the Painswick Farmers Market every Thursday 8am – 10am, as well as regular stalls at Nailsworth.
