The project is not only about growing food but will aim to educate local groups and individuals by providing a safe outdoor place for learning. Its objectives are:

• Grow vegetables, fruits, and herbs for local residents and businesses, based on organic principles.

• Provide education in its widest sense, for all ages, abilities, and backgrounds.

• Allow skills to be transferred through working and learning together, growing, cooking, and preserving rural crafts.

• Provide an opportunity for people to exercise, for the benefit of both mind and body.

• Host “eat-in” lunches to combat rural isolation, promote social inclusion and community cohesion.

• Reconnect with where our food comes from.

• Develop an appreciation of nature and the world around us.
