Acorn Farm – I Can Grow

The Acorn Farm, I can Grow project is calling for families in Derry/Londonderry and Strabane to roll up their sleeves and get planting. No experience needed!  The programme supports families to grow their own fruit and vegetables. Families are given everything they need to grow food at home, learning from horticultural experts to begin the creation of a more sustainable food system throughout the city.

The project aims to: 

Build a new iconic urban farm at St Columb’s Park in Derry~Londonderry as a demonstration hub for growing food, recreation, education and learning 

Train local people how to grow food at home 

Improve awareness of the connection between climate change and food choice 

Activate a local movement of food growers 

Conduct and produce research of the impact of our local food systems on climate  and health 

Influence local food policy in relation to climate change and health
