Grassroots Garden

🌱 Redruth, Cornwall · Community Interest Company

Growing food, resilience and community from the ground up.

Our mission

Grassroots Garden is growing a living model of regenerative food, shared learning and community participation β€” one that strengthens local resilience and helps a better future take root.

We are a Community Interest Company (CIC) based in Redruth, Cornwall. Everything we grow stays local. Every penny goes back into the project.

Why it matters

A food system built to last

Industrial food is fragile. Brexit, climate change, and rising costs have made that clear. Grassroots Garden is a practical answer β€” grown here, for the people who live here, in a way that builds the land rather than depleting it.

  • Low-disturbance growing β€” we build soil biology, not destroy it
  • Community Supported Agriculture β€” you share the harvest, we share the risk
  • Open-pollinated seed only β€” no patents, no corporate control
  • Weekly volunteer sessions β€” open to all, skills shared freely

From our community

“The veg tasted so much better than the plastic-wrapped, shop-bought stuff. I’m never going back.”

Rob, Redruth β€” our very first veg box customer

“Seasonal, organic veg grown less than a mile from our house β€” the weekly bag brings great excitement. Beautifully generous bounties throughout the summer, and amazingly varied harvests through the leaner months. Favourite produce has included watermelon (in Redruth!), aggretti, squashes, fennel and aubergine. Such a difference from other veg box schemes we’ve tried.”

Come and grow with us

Real people. Real work. Real food.

Every Thursday, the garden is open to anyone who wants to come and grow with us. You might sow seeds, harvest veg bags, build compost heaps, or learn about the soil.

We always stop for a proper lunch together β€” usually a veg stew from the plot. You don’t need experience. You just need to show up.

Back the model, not just the mission

We’re not a charity asking for handouts. We’re a CIC building something Cornwall actually needs. Every contribution goes directly into the ground β€” seeds, tools, infrastructure and the people who make it happen.
