We have set the new date in Spring 2021 for the launch or our community shares campaign and we would love you to join us, both in buying a farm and creating something hopeful in these challenging and uncertain times.
We are very proud of our new website, it has been a real labour of love over the last twelve months. We started with a blank piece of paper and began by asking how our very practical work could be enhanced and supported by a new website.
The result is a gorgeous looking website, with some very useful functions.

Greater Manchester is to gain twelve thousand new fruit and nut trees thanks to a DEFRA grant we have been awarded to help to kick-start environmental renewal in our region whilst creating and retaining jobs in the wake of the pandemic.
We are looking for three people to join us as we embark on our most ambitious project yet. Over the next 15 months we will be establishing a pioneering heritage fruit tree nursery - the start of Kindling’s 100 acre+ agroforestry system - and much more! To do this we will be engaging and skilling up 3,000 people to graft, bud and plant 12,000 heritage fruit trees for the region.
February is already upon us, and that means the beginning of our pioneering Heritage Fruit Tree Agroforestry Project! With new team members joining us, lots of activities and events already planned and in the diary, and lots of deliveries to Woodbank, we’re off to a flying start.
It’s less than a month until we launch our Community Shares Campaign! Where did that time go…
We’re super busy at Kindling HQ getting ready for the launch of the campaign, but we’ve found some time outside of the mass of spreadsheets, emails and post-it notes to talk to you, our kind supporters - without you, there will be no Kindling Farm! So let us begin…
The day has finally come: we’ve launched our community shares campaign! From now until the 3rd July you can become a community investor in Kindling Farm. All you need to do to invest is head to ethex.org.uk/invest/kindling-farm.
As grafting season comes to a close, and all our newly grafted apple trees are planted out at our site in Glazebury, hear from Dan, one of the amazing agroforestry team members, about his journey into grafting and his ambitions to become the next best budder in town!
There is one week left until our community share offer to help us buy Kindling Farm ends! You can invest anything from £200 up until the 3rd July.
It’s been just over a month since our community shares campaign to help buy Kindling Farm finished - and we’ve been busy ever since! Here’s a quick update to keep you all in the loop about the next steps for the Farm, and how you can get involved.
