PHASE ONE COMMUNITY consultation - spring/summer 2019

In the Spring of 2019, we launched the first phase of a community consultation process to find out what the Cambridge community thought and felt about the idea of a community farm for Cambridge. Some very insightful views and brilliant ideas were gathered through this process, all of which are captured in the full and summary reports below. We hope you will enjoy reading them!

community farm design brief

The key messages, themes wishes and needs that came out of the initial consultation were turned into a Strategic Design Brief for CoFarm Cambridge which can be download by clicking here.

Award-winning architects practice RH Partnership generously supported CoFarm Cambridge, on a pro bono basis, turning the brief into inspiring design concepts for the farm.

PHASE TWO OF COFARM CAMBRIDGE CONSULTATION

The designs were very well received at their first public airing on Saturday 7th March at Horizon Resource Centre, with 120 people (and 2 dogs) coming to share their views. To access a full write up of the feedback gathered on the day and online, please hit the button below.
