East Reach Garden Co-operative

The Taunton Urban Farmers Co-operative is a group of local people who are both keen horticulturalists and community activists.

The co-op aims to use neglected plots around the town of Taunton to grow food for local consumption and to provide employment for people who – for a range of reasons including chronic ill health, addition, mental health issues or limited formal education – have struggled to make a living in the mainstream labour market.
