Hazelhurst Community Supported Agriculture Co-operative is now a thriving organisation.
From its idyllic site in the Moss Valley, since the end of July they have been supplying a weekly bag of fresh organic vegetables to 35 households in Sheffield, and more to local shops and restaurants.
Maureen, a customer in Heeley, says: ‘The veg is really delicious. It’s picked the same day so it’s really fresh. And it only comes from 3 miles away!’
On Wed 3rd October they will be celebrating their achievements so far with an Annual General Meeting followed by a public meeting entitled
The Fun, Figures and Freedom of Community Food Initiatives
The speaker will be Nick Weir. Nick is a founder member of Stroud Community Agriculture which is now held up by the Soil Association as a Beacon Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) project. He is also a founder member of Stroudco Food Hub (www.stroudco.org.uk), which is providing a new economic model for community food distribution
The AGM is at the Quaker Meeting House and starts at 6.30pm. It is open to non-members of the cooperative, though only members can vote. Nick’s talk will start at 7.30pm
