Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Julian Osman
One good gym runner joined a working party at Sitopia farm, a social farming enterprise just off Shooter's Hill. On arrival we were greeted by the wonderful Chloe who took us to our task: building beds to grow organic vegetables. The cardboard base was rolled out ready to go and some of the group started on the seemingly Sisyphean task of transferring organic compost from a large pile to the base, whilst others finished other beds by spreading straw around the edges. After several hours the new bed was complete yet the file of compost seemed no smaller, so there's a great opportunity for other Goodgymmers to get down on the farm to help build further beds in this amazing community enterprise.
Sitopia Farm is a social enterprise: we grow food to advance social, environmental and health objectives, with profits reinvested to support our aims. We started off on two small London sites (in Hackney and in Islington) and are now expanding into a larger, more permanent site in Greenwich, South East London.
