The Hazelhurst CSA Co-operative is
in the process of being legally established.
The plan is to buy a 9 acre field in the
Moss Valley
and to use this to grow a weekly supply of fruit and vegetables for members.
The project started in April 2009 at a meeting organised by Transition Heeley/Meersbrook.
For general discussion and news the project is using the Meersbrook-Heeley-Food list which you can join by putting your email address in the following form and submitting it:
