Sims Hill Shared Harvest is a members owned and led Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) project. A group has been working to set this up over the past year and are now in a possition to open it to the wider community. There will be a community meeting on June 29th, 7:30m @ Hamilton House.
Some of you may be aware that over the past few months work has been under way to develop plans for one of Bristol’s first Community Supported Agriculture projects (CSAs) near Frenchay.

Sims Hill Shared Harvest aims to launch a member-owned CSA which will help to reclaim Bristol’s historic (and fertile) agricultural land.

For those of you who are new to CSAs, they are a popular model of co-operative farming which builds dynamic relationships between people, the land and food. Members contribute to the running costs of the farm and receive a fair share of the harvest in return. A refreshing change to conventional supermarket shopping!

If you are interested in becoming part of a visionary new project please come to Co-Exist, Hamilton House (see map here) on 29th June form 7:30 pm for an 8 pm start. Please arrive promptly and enter via the Canteen on Stokes Croft. You will be directed upstairs to the Community Arts space where the meeting will be held. Light refreshments will be served.

It will be a great opportunity for us to present our work so far, for you to ask questions about where we are aiming for, and to find out more about what being a member of a CSA actually involves. It’s also an opportunity to celebrate our achievements and to start working together to make this happen. If you wish to come to the launch event, please rsvp by replying to the simshillsharedharvest@googlemail email so we can have an idea of the numbers we can expect. We very much look forward to seeing you there!
