Community Supported Agriculture Project

Transition Bath have secured a year long agreement with the Hughes family in Bathampton to begin a CSA project with the Bathampton and surrounding area community. The Soil Association defines CSA as a partnership between farmers and consumers where the risks and rewards are shared. There are many possible models and features, and the successful  CSAs develop into their final form rather than replicating a project from elsewhereCommunity Supported Agriculture projects are taking shape across the country and this will be Bath's first.

An initial meeting took place on the piece of land in Bathampton on Sunday 15th August and the beginnings of a steering group are beginning to form. If you are interested in being involved in this project or finding out more information please contact Jamie on csa@transitionbath.org
