Growing People is a social enterprise project based on Wolverton’s ‘Urb Farm’ site. We are one of a family of social enterprises managed by the Milton Keynes Christian Foundation, a local charity working with people from all sectors of the community across Milton Keynes. Growing People grow flowers, fruit and vegetables for sale throughout the
city- to both businesses and individuals. We also offer learning opportunities through our Extended Training programme, E2E, or open days.

We are considering starting up a box scheme...Our boxes will contain our own veg, grown at Wolverton Urb Farm, and would be supplemented with organic produce from wholesalers or other farmers in Bedford or Cambridge. We are looking at running a trial first so click here to register your interest. Please include your location (we can only deliver to North MK) and any preferences.
The Growing People Team
Top chef Raymond Blanc visited Wolverton in September 2009 to do a cookery demonstration for local school children. The dishes he made consisted almost entirely of produce grown by Growing People. We were very proud to be involved! Click here to view photos of his visit, or here to hear what he had to say about local food.
