Another disgusting green project for the rich and their middle class puppies still rinsing the third sector after they shafted our industries– not content with alienating most of us ( like a lot of the green activists I dare say – see also BBC eco-docs, Foe etc.and all the other stuff they dive on like the fucking vampires they are without a proper fight – and it is a class struggle as well as against the corporate fascism aka. Capitalism. Ps. we don’t like being free labour either for the landed greens…..here’s the story involving our car park developing fiends the NT. ( not to be confused with the NF )

National Trust to set up 'super allotments'
The National Trust is setting up 'super allotments' that will allow ordinary families to become part-time farmers.

Last year the trust announced it would be creating 1,000 allotments at stately homes and other properties around the country by 2012.

The scheme was so successful, with more than 300 plots already set up, that the Trust are now looking at community-run farms

The Trust will be setting up three organic community farms this year involving hundreds of people . Members pay a monthly fee of around £30, equivalent to buying an organic vegetable box, and can then receive fruit, vegetables and meat from the farm. Most people will also want to get involved in the management and running of the farm.

Andrew McLaughlin, of the National Trust, said they were like "super allotments".

"More and more people want to grow their own and this is the next step up. it is a much bigger more regular supply of food and allows people to really get in there and get back in touch with farming. It is like allotments but better with the option of poulty and livestock too."

The trend for small holdings, epitomised by 1970s television show The Good Life, has returned recently as people become more concerned about where their food comes from and celebrity chefs like Jamie Oliver urge people to grow-their-own. The National Society of Allotment and Leisure Gardeners say more than 100,000 people are on waiting lists for allotments.

The largest National Trust 'super allotment' will be on Killerton estate in Devon where 32 acres has been put aside for the local community. It is expected 200 families will take part initially with plans to expand to up to 400 and include livestock like hens, sheep and cattle.

Wimpole Estate in Cambridgeshire will involve 150 families on three acres and three acres has also been put aside in Hatchlands Park near Guildford.

All the farms are in the planning stages at the moment but should be up and running in time for the growing season. The community appoints a local farmer or employs a gardener to manage the land day to day but committees are set up to decide on what kind of fruits and vegetables to grow as well as looking at nature parks, education projects and extras like poultry and livestock.

Richard Morris, farm manager at Wimpole, is helping the community to set up the farm.

"A little old lady can have a half share and receive a box once a week or a family can come onto the super allotment everyday and get involved as they want to. It is an opportunity for people to work together but they do not have to work everyday to get what they are growing
