Project Grow is helping to rebuild local food economies
We believe that changing the way we produce and distribute food is fundamental to solving the world’s most pressing social and ecological problems.
About Project Grow
Across our six urban community farming sites in Cheltenham and Gloucester we offer the following services:
Community - we partner with and grow vital good food for community food projects and schools,
Corporate - we provide team building, training, and CSR opportunities for corporate partners.
Commissioning - as Social and Therapeutic Horticulture practitioners we support people in our spaces using coaching to help individuals reach their goals.
To fund our work growing vital good food for community food projects we also sell plug plants, seasonal produce and products. For more information check out our food projects page here.
As a good food movement we advocate for communities to grow food together because the people who rely on the emergency system such as food pantries and community food projects rarely get a choice to good food - food that has low food miles, that is chemical free, seasonally grown and in alignment with mother nature. Instead, they are given mainly ultra processed, non-perishable food and yet expected to thrive within our communities and therefore society.

Fair prices for farmers and artisan food producers is vital
We pay our suppliers at least 50% of the retail value for any products we buy in, and when dealing with wholesalers, we check to make sure they pay fair prices to their growers.
The benefits of buying local
Local food supports local economies. Food grown in the local community supports local jobs and encourages variety in our diets. It also requires less transportation, so it's fresher and has a smaller environmental footprint.
They are a 'godsend' for busy families wishing to expand their fruit and vegetable consumption, while eating locally and seasonally. So convenient to order and receive, they combine friendly service with consistently high-quality products.
