History

The Whitehawk Community Food Project is located on Whitehawk Hill in East Brighton on an old allotment site which had become disused in the 1990's. The site covers nearly 1 acre and has beautiful views of both the sea and the South Downs. It is now an established and productive community garden including fruit, vegetable and herb beds, polytunnels, ponds and a forest garden/orchard area. The site has been developed for people to be able to enjoy and participate in organic, biodynamic and permaculture techniques and principles. We aim to be an inspiring and valuable demonstration site where people can learn through practical hands-on experience.

Fresh seasonal produce is always available as a thankyou in return for helping out. Gardening days are Thursday and Sunday - 2pm til dusk and we welcome anyone looking to find out more about food and food growing.

Aims

We are a well connected group with a passion for growing food. We run a cooperative urban garden promoting nutritional food growing all the year round. Our health and wellbeing is uppermost. Thence we help others.
