We embarked on a year-long inclusive process to co-create a masterplan with a Community Supported Agriculture farm in East Sussex. 

Over a series of workshops, we developed 10 creative principles that will serve as a guiding framework for future decision-making. We made sure to spend time to listen to each members working and living on site, and ensure the community’s voice was heard and incorporated into the plan. 

The masterplan combines a blend of light-touch and significant transformations, such as restoring tired farm barns and introducing new elements like a farm shop, a café, a small community event space, and growing beds around the newly defined heart of the farm. 

By working together, we created a vision for a farm that will serve as a model for sustainable agriculture and strengthen the local community’s connection to the land.
