Nestled in the midst of Grimsby, Nunny’s Farm is a commendable story of community spirit and grit, presenting a distinct urban farming experience. The dedicated professional team behind the farm gave a revealing insight into the daily workflow of their operation, as part of the BBC’s Farmwatch, terming it as an arduous yet heartfelt task.
From repairing fences to managing other less glamourous responsibilities, the eager team maintains a hectic schedule on the farm, motivated by the farm’s beneficial influence on visitors’ wellbeing. As a sector in which a sizable proportion of residents lacks personal transport, the farm offers a necessary green space offering a sense of peace.
During the previous winter, the farm’s future was uncertain owing to financial constraints. Nonetheless, the tight-knit community of Grimsby rallied round, amassing a whopping £40,000 to safeguard its survival. The farm’s Director, Neil Campbell, extends his heartfelt appreciation and confidently anticipates the perpetuity of the farm’s influence, agreeing with the thoughts of many that it should undoubtedly continue to be sustained.
