Riverside Market Garden

‘Sowing Seeds of Change’
In these credit crunched times new ways to keep diets varied and healthy without breaking the bank are more than welcome, especially if they are Green AND green-​fingered. Riverside Market Garden is one such venture, a new ethical model for sustainable and affordable local food production which will mean making LOTS of fresh food available to their local community.
The garden takes over 10 acres of land west of Cardiff and, thanks to hardworking families, the first crops are being harvested right now. Local residents can get involved in the project as shareholders, customers or volunteers. It should take five years or less for this venture to not only get off the ground but become a self-​financing community-​owned business supplying the best seasonal veg to local people. It is a fantastic social enterprise, support it, eat well, feel better about the world.
