Torganics is a Community Supported Agriculture project, set up in 2008 and based at Paddington Farm, Maidencroft Lane, Glastonbury, Somerset www.paddingtonfarm.co.uk . Our vision, shared with many other CSAs around the country, is a reconnection of people to their local land and food growers. For more information about the CSA concept and other projects around the country About CSA .
In a time of increasing uncertainty in the world, to know that your food comes from a farm within walking distance of your local town, to be able to participate in the growing and the harvesting of that food, is no longer a luxury. Through sharing the knowledge and skills around growing this food, as well as through seasonal celebrations of the harvest, we can rebuild strong communities.
Head grower at Torganics is Colum Pawson. Colum grew up in nearby Street and has recently returned to the area. He has lots of experience in growing organic fruit and vegetables, and enjoys working as part of a team.
