A community farm for Chat Moss

Welcome to Moss Lane Farm a place where nature, people and community grow together. Nestled in the heart of Chat Moss, we are proud to be a community farm dedicated to restoring the land, connecting people with nature, and inspiring healthier more sustainable futures.

The farm is showcased as a community-owned asset, bringing together education, food growing, nature recovery, wellbeing, volunteering and community participation in one place.

What we're building

• Food growing market-garden beds, orchard and polytunnels run with regenerative, peat-friendly methods.

• Nature recovery habitat creation, wetland and hedgerows, with biodiversity recorded on every visit.

• Outdoor learning curriculum-linked sessions and farm visits for schools and families.

• Community ownership a route for local people to own and shape the farm through membership and community shares.
