SCA is a thriving community-supported organic/biodynamic farm, run by and for its members. Like other members of the CSA network our main aim is to build a community around the production of our food.
Members pay an annual membership fee and optional further payments in order to receive produce, including vegetables and organic, pasture fed meat. All our produce is certified organic and biodynamic. If that sounds good to you – why not become a member?
How it works
We’re a living alternative to destructive industrial agriculture. This is how we do it.
History of our farm
For over twenty years we’ve been living and learning from the land. Here’s how we got here.
Stroud Community Agriculture produces nutritious, fresh, organic food for local consumption.
Members of SCA commit to supporting the Farm Team through regular payments. This gives much-needed stability. It builds on cooperation and mutual support so that the risks and rewards of farming are shared between the farmers and consumers.
Isn’t that the same as a box scheme?
Glad you asked. We are much more than a box scheme. We have many members who don’t need the weekly vegetables but want to support and be part of SCA.
Members can volunteer, help out on and join in with events such as the very popular Farm Fest, sup soup at the fireworks-free bonfire night, sing carols to the cows around Christmas, enjoy a bring and share Harvest Festival… We also have a growing team of weekly volunteers who weed, pick, plant, chat and have a great time.
Members are encouraged to share skills with other members (e.g. scything, foraging, onion plaiting, wildlife walks, fireside storytelling, recipes for the newsletter). Through connecting with others we weave a bond with the farm and its members.
SCA is a resource nationally and internationally. We host visits and placements for agricultural students from abroad interested in Community Supported Agriculture.
