About your mentor
Growing Local CIC
GROW, COOK, EAT healthy & local Hereford food
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.
How to Find Us
If WALKING/CYCLING we are at the end of the Great Western Way foot/cycle path - after the Belmont Wanderer's football fields - look out for our polytunnels! IF DRIVING we will meet you in the Belmont Wanderers football club car park at 9.50am and walk over together. The car park is at the end of Vernon Williams Close in Newton Farm, HR2 7BF. From here it's a short walk over to our farm.

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-off period under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 therefore applies. After the 14 day period my standard policy will apply.
