The Community Farm

Growing food, community and a better food system – just outside Bristol.

The Community Farm isn’t just one of our closest suppliers – it’s part of the Better Food story.

Founded in 2009 by a group that included Better Food founder Phil Haughton, The Community Farm was created to grow organic food for Bristol while reconnecting people with the land and where their food comes from.

Today, the community-owned, not-for-profit farm grows organic fruit and vegetables overlooking Chew Valley Lake. It also provides an important route to market for other organic growers across the South West, with much of that produce making its way onto Better Food’s shelves.

Thousands of people are welcomed onto the farm each year through volunteering, events and community programmes – bringing people together around food, farming and nature.

Why we love them

They’re at the heart of our local organic food community – growing great food, supporting small-scale farmers and connecting people with the land that feeds us.
