Bath Area Growers – A network of community groups growing for food and biodiversity around Bath

We have a vision of a region with a strong culture of regenerative food growing and gardening, bringing wellbeing to both people and nature.
We want to help create a food system that is…

Local

Where much of the food we eat is grown in the surrounding area, so it’s fresh and has low food-miles.

Regenerative

Organic and restorative methods increase natures vitality and create a region rich in wildlife.

Connected

Where it’s easy to connect with other people growing and growers are a key part of the community.

Accessible

Where everyone can get locally grown nutritious food, enjoy wildlife rich places, and access land, resources and support for growing.

Diverse

Where people from all backgrounds feel able to get involved in growing, and a wide variety of projects fit different needs and contexts.

Our purpose is to develop the ecosystem of groups growing organically for food and wildlife around Bath.
