Cultivate is all about bringing people together to create a better food system for Oxford. Better for everyone who eats food, better for everyone who grows food, and better for the planet. 

Cultivate believes in making change through practical action, as well as talks, events and education. So in our first year we established a new market garden on 10 acres of land just outside Oxford and created a mobile greengrocer's shop, the VegVan, to get more local food into the city.

Cultivate is a cooperative organisation owned and funded by the community. You can become a member to get more involved in what we do. Join us as a volunteer on the land or take up a regular volunteer shift on the VegVan and Sunday markets. We want to help people create a local food system Oxford can be proud of, so if you've got an idea you want to take forward - get in touch.

In the next few years we'll be working on involving more people in local food through education and outreach programmes, building new routes to market for local producers and creating a vibrant and wide-ranging movement for local food in Oxford.
