It all began in October 2008 when 50 people met to discuss the failings of our current food supply in Norwich. Norwich FarmShare was launched two years later and we began growing food for our members on a piece of land in Postwick.

Over these last 12 years some 650 Norwich residents have been part of our growing community - learning about ecologically sensitive farming methods, enjoying and celebrating local seasonal food, and sharing knowledge and expertise.  

In 2016 we lost our rented growing land. After a long search, we secured a new site at Whitlingham - a beautiful three acre, south facing piece of land. We have set up rabbit fences, polytunnels and other great infrastructure on this site and have been growing here since 2018.

In 2024 new growers Jenny and Laura were hired, and so far this season is going well!
