Connecting Community,
Cultivating
Well-being.
At Colchester Crop Share, we’re not just a project; we’re a movement dedicated to enriching lives by bridging the gap between our community and the very essence of sustainable living. We believe in the power of connection — connecting people to local community gardens, allotments, rural skill training providers, and local food producers. It’s about creating a network of support, learning, and sharing that not only nurtures the body but also the community spirit.
Our Mission
To revolutionise how people engage with food, farming, and each other. Colchester Crop Share Cultivators aims to create a community where everyone has the opportunity to participate in growing, sharing, and enjoying the bounty of our local land. By fostering connections with local gardens, allotments, and producers, we empower individuals with the knowledge and skills to contribute to a sustainable future.
