We Are Grow

GROW harnesses the power of food and farming to transform local communities.

We believe in food justice and the right to a sustainable way of life for all.

Our agroecological farm and outdoor learning hub at The Totteridge Academy in North London is at the heart of every one of our activities, providing a practical and inspiring resource for everyone who visits.

We are a working farm and we grow vegetables, flowers, and herbs, as well as keep bees and a small flock of chickens. We supply our partner school's busy canteen with fresh produce, and sell directly to our local community. We also welcome volunteers and visitors of all ages and backgrounds through our community volunteering programme and community events.

‍In our educational programmes, we work predominantly with local children, young people and families who experience barriers to learning, healthy living, and employment.

We run early support programmes, AQA courses, holiday, after-school & weekend clubs, curriculum projects, school trips and workshops, and training programmes.

Through direct experience of the joys of the farm and nature, we offer our participants the skills, knowledge and confidence to make positive choices and changes in their lives and in the world around them. ‍ Through our partnership with TTA, we are creating a model for how schools & farms can work together to create resilient local food systems, enhance learning and well-being, reach meaningful sustainability goals, and strengthen community.
