Growing Local CIC

GROW, COOK, EAT healthy & local Hereford food

Growing Local CIC

Growing Local is a community interest company that encourages and educates communities to grow, cook and eat local food. Most of our sessions run from Southside Farm, on the southern edge of Hereford, where we have a children's educational garden and field kitchen. We also grow veg for a veg box scheme and for local shops and businesses. We work with schools and communities delivering educational programmes and events in sustainable food growing, nature, crafting, cooking and more.

Cancellation policy

Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.

My experience is an educational activity, and the ‘14-day cooling period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 therefore applies. After the 14 day period my standard policy will apply.
