Additional Information

MindFood C.I.C is a new social enterprise based on a 14 acre farm in Amersham, in an area of outstanding natural beauty and will offer people with a wide range of mental health issues a therapeutic environment where they can learn how to sow, plant and grow a wide range of crops. People can also get involved in learning cooking and marketing skills as we will work with them to turn the crops we grow into value added products such as chutneys, jams and veg pots which will be sold directly as veg boxes and on farmers markets. The primary benefit is to reconnect people with mental health issues with earth and nature, which has been proven to have a powerful therapeutic effect. By giving  people an opportunity to learn and take part in growing crops we will help them to develop a sense of self worth and confidence again as they can see literally the fruits of their labour.
