Community Orchard & Allotments

Connected to the planned Farmers Market will be a community orchard and allotments. Now, more than ever, it is important that we know how to live sustainably and where our food comes from, and the orchard and allotments provide an excellent opportunity to do so.

The competition

As part of our plans, we have run a competition in conjunction with local schools. Key stage 1 & 2 children across Blackburn with Darwen have submitted entries to both design a logo and name the new farmers market.

This competition runs throughout November, with the winners of the prizes being announced in December.
