Our community ownership model
Sutton Community Farm is owned by over 400 community shareholders who help secure our future as a thriving community space.
We operate as a Community Benefit Society (CBS) – a type of co-operative that exists to serve and benefit the wider community.
Your investment makes a difference
By becoming a shareholder, you’re investing in local food security, sustainable farming, and a welcoming space for everyone to enjoy. Each share costs £1, with investment options starting from £30. Investments larger than £100 are welcome– please contact us to discuss.
