Community Outreach

Growing with Grace proudly supports the local community; be it through using local businesses as suppliers, working alongside like-minded conservation projects (such as the Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust), supporting charities, food banks and shelters with food donations as well as hosting schools, disadvantaged groups and those interested in growing and conservation for visits. It's at the heart of everything we do.

Between January and November 2025, we have provided boxes of surplus produce to local food banks and shelters to a value of over £4,500, with that figure expected to reach £5,000 by the end of the year. We're exceptionally proud to be able to do this, not only to help those in need, but also as part of our mission to reduce food waste to an absolute minimum.

Through our group visit sessions and open days, we try to engage the local community in working with the land, the importance of a localised food chain and wider conservation issues whilst sparking a joy of the outdoors and growing.

We will always be proud of our links in the local community that go well beyond our farm shop and deliveries. If you would ever like to help us in this, or are part of a like-minded project in the community, don't hesitate to get in touch.
