Calling all good food entrepreneurs: Business opportunity with new organic food hub
The Soil Association are seeking good food entrepreneurs and existing enterprises to express interest in their new Woodoaks Farm venture, turning the 300ha site into a thriving organic food hub.
Located to the west of London at Maple Cross in Hertfordshire, it includes arable and pastureland and around 75 acres of semi-natural woodland. Previously a family farm, it has been donated to the Soil Association Land Trust to ensure it will be farmed sustainably into the future; producing good food, improving wildlife and continuing to welcome people.
They are looking for a diverse mix of food and faming entrepreneurs to transform the farm, by creating a with a cluster of businesses working with farmer-focussed supply and reconnecting consumers with farming. Diversity is key to their vision and they are inviting a range of interests from horticulture, to dairy to meat and even bakery.
This is a really unique opportunity to be part of a bold new vision for ‘a place where local enterprise can thrive re-connecting the community with the food they eat and the land that grows it, and that will provide opportunities to learn and get involved.’
