The Campus Allotment is based on Park Campus and we are
looking for volunteers to help to support it through planning, planting,
harvesting, weeding, composting and generally getting involved in growing food.
The vision of the allotment is to produce a veg box, supplying students, staff
and local residents with fresh fruit and veg in a sustainable way; reduced
transport and production costs, less impact on the land and building a
community around the process of growing your own.
Initially we plan to grow fruit and vegetables on our urban
site, but we also have some really strong links into the community and farming
world and look to develop these over the coming months. We would like to
build these relationships to buy and sell to local farmers and to develop a
partnership with the local agricultural college (Moulton College) to support us
in being able to deliver on a larger scale.
In previous years the University hosted a successful farmers
market, which we would like to resurrect.
WHERE: Behind MX mobile, Park Campus. University of
Northampton.
Sign up to volunteer here.
There will be one weekly Wednesday afternoon (2-4) volunteering slot until more
volunteers get involved.
