a community producing food
FlintShare is a community run social enterprise which aims to produce fresh, local sustainable food for its members. We have a network of small community gardens across Flintshire, including sites at Cilcain, Ffynnongroyw, Northop and Hawarden. You can read our latest news to find out what’s happening at each of our sites.
FlintShare was set up with the intention of being a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) scheme, which is a way of developing a mutually supportive relationship between local food consumers and growers.
The Cilcain site has over three acres of south facing slope with established hedges on three sides and a stream on the fourth.
We had a “Gentle Shove” rather than a “Big Push” today, and by the time Henry and I had left things were really speeding along.
A small group met for our first willow weaving day on Sunday following collection of willow from Kimnel Bay earlier this year.
Despite the horrendous rain Sandi will be sowing seed at her house instead of cancelling the workday (see the forum) – true dedication!
The sun shone on Sunday – unlike Saturday when I left Sandi weeding in a hailstorm!
Lots of spuds are now in – Desiree, Ambo, Lady Balfour, Maris Peer & Premier. Hope the blight gods are kinder this year!
A huge thanks to all the awesomely hard working team! Fourteen turned up for various parts of the day and, as usual, a huge amount was accomplished. It never ceases to amaze just how much you can get done when everyone pulls together.
