Bentley  Urban Farm is an award winning “upcycled market garden” which uses reclaimed materials to repair and maintain a former horticultural training centre for the purposes of teaching people to grow their own fresh, healthy food and to experiment with a diverse range of agroecology and ecoculture techniques to build local resilience in the face of converging ecological crises. We encourage people to work together to help combat the problems of food poverty snd food deserts and to build greater food and seed soveriegnty. Find us at bentleyurbanfarm.com
