The Glastonbury Town Deal has secured £23.6 million investment for the town, representing a once-in-a-generation opportunity to deliver the objectives outlined in the Town Investment Plan
Establishing a community-led agroecological facility which will enable people to find a place of learning and development and gain knowledge and experience in producing local food.
A community-led educational research centre based at Bridies Farm which covers around 20 acres of under-used organic pastureland.
The centre will demonstrate natural methods for growing food, land management and promote holistic approaches to wellbeing for a land, human and animal symbiosis. It will be a place for all ages to grow together, whilst skill sharing, immersed in nature
As well as producing local food and reducing food miles, other aims of the project include inspiring smallholders, landowners and gardeners to care for the land in harmony with nature; increasing food resilience; and improving the mental and physical wellbeing of local residents.
