Our Story
Who We Are
Based just outside Llangennith, Big Meadow is a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) project growing Soil Association certified organic vegetables for local households.
​
For over six years we've been producing fresh, seasonal vegetables while building a resilient local food system that connects people with the land, the seasons and each other.
​
Every week our members collect a share of the harvest, knowing they're supporting sustainable farming, biodiversity and a thriving local community.
