Fork And Dig It is a not-for-profit community growing project practising and promoting low-impact organic horticulture on a beautiful site at Stanmer Organics in the stunning surroundings of Stanmer Park, Brighton
Fork And Dig It grows organic fruit and vegetables on 2 acres of Soil Association accredited land in the tranquil outskirts of the Great Wood that borders the South Downs National Park, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and is a member group of Stanmer Organics, a co-operative which oversees 17 acres of land within the splendid surroundings of much loved local nature reserve, Stanmer Park.
Run by volunteers, the aim is to grow food in as bio diverse way as possible, teaching (and learning from) other people and groups as we go. We aim to promote and enjoy long, happy, healthy lives by cultivating delicious, nutritious, affordable local produce in a way that is sustainable in the long-term.
Fork And Dig It supplies produce to the local community through independent retailers like Infinity Foods and through our Veg Share, Brighton's first Community Supported Agriculture scheme. If you'd like to know where your food is coming from have a look at our Veg Share page to see how our CSA works and join up now for 2013.

Want to know where your food is coming from?
Growing, buying, cooking and eating organic, sustainably grown produce can be simple, enjoyable, more tasty, better for you and for the environment.
Our educational initiatives are specifically designed for school children and our aim is to fully support all key stages of the curriculum, in line with the government manifesto encouraging children to Learn Outside the Classroom.
Fork And Dig It run workshops for groups and companies who want to get outdoors and learn about their local food and environment or want to understand the basic concepts of organic horticulture.
