Support local organic farming with a monthly donation

At The Fold, our purpose is to grow good organic food for our community, while caring for the soil, wildlife and wider environment that make farming possible. We believe food should be grown locally, organically and in ways that leave the land healthy and thriving for future generations.

Growing food this way takes time, care and a lot of hands. It’s labour-intensive, and it’s increasingly challenging to work this way in a changing climate, with drought and extreme temperatures affecting what and how much we can grow.

Income from other activities at The Fold, including our café and events, helps to support the farm. We’re also incredibly fortunate to have a wonderful community of volunteers who give their time because they believe, as we do, that farming in this way matters.

But even with all of this support, the farm does not currently cover the full cost of growing food.
That’s why we’re inviting you to become a Friend of the Farm.

With a monthly donation from just £5, you can help us continue to grow organic food here at The Fold and nurture the land that sustains us. You can also make a one-off donation of any amount.

The Fold is a not-for-profit Community Interest Company (CIC). There are no private owners or shareholders taking profits from our work: everything we earn is reinvested in our mission.

Your donations will help meet the real costs of running the farm, from seeds, tools and irrigation to looking after the soil and paying our small farm team fairly for the skilled work they do.

We know that many people in our community value having an organic farm here at The Fold and want to see small-scale, local farming survive and thrive.

If that’s something you believe in too, please become a Friend of the Farm. Every monthly donation, however small, helps us keep growing.

Regular donations of any amount help us care for the land and grow food using organic, regenerative methods. From time to time, we also hold farm walks, gatherings and other opportunities for people to come together and see the work their donations help make possible.
