Abundant Earth (Durham)
Directory of Co-operatives
We are a workers co-operative and are based on 15 acres of land near to Broom Park just outside of Durham city. We are passionate about growing and making things from the land, it's what we do; from producing a weekly vegetable box scheme, to working with wool, wood and willow through to Permaculture and woodland management.
All that we do on our land is focused on helping both people and countryside. The land is managed without pesticides or fertlisers being applied and most work is carried out by hand. Hedges are laid, woods coppiced and pastures managed all with an eye to the wildlife.
People are catered for by providing, not only healthy food for the locality, but also by offering opportunities to learn many of the land based skills we employ by offering courses and through volunteering.
