Serpentine Community Farm
Serpentine Community Farm aims to restore a derelict Council greenhouse area in Buxton for community use in production and education. Serpentine Community Farm will be a resource for local people to develop horticultural
skills, grow food intensively but sustainably in a range of micro-environments, and will be a venue for formal and informal training for the whole community. When complete the project will showcase all aspects of the sustainable food cycle from growing, to preserving, to cooking and finally to dealing with waste. We welcome volunteers: check our website for dates and times.
