Horton Community Farm

Horton Community Farm is an amazing urban green space at Cecil Avenue Allotments in Great Horton, Bradford.

We are creating an inspirational permaculture project for food growing and community resilience. We do this through 5 main strands of work; environmental education & forest schools, volunteering, horticultural therapy, wildlife and food growing. We welcome volunteers who are essential to the continuing of this project.

The benefits of volunteering with us include getting outdoors, learning skills, meeting people and expanding your CV. We are committed to creating a collective resource for the community and preserving the large urban allotment site as a whole so individuals can also have their own little portion of paradise if they want it. We are established as a cooperative organisation and registered as a limited company. We operate as a social enterprise and any profit we generate is invested back into the project.

We run "Growing Together" sessions for 0-3s (and older siblings) from BD 3,4 and 5 (Little Horton, Canterbury, Barkerend and Low Moor areas). Activities include growing plants, bug hunts and crafts. It is a stay and play set up so parents stay with their children.
