Bentley Urban Farm in Doncaster (UK) is an award-winning 'upcycled market garden' which uses reclaimed materials to encourage everyone to grow and share fresh, healthy food for the benefit of all. It is a cooperatively run social enterprise which encourages community-led change and collaborative regeneration.

They started life as an anti-food poverty campaign, providing fresh, healthy produce to the vulnerable and teaching people how to save money by growing their own food. This is still an important part of what they do, but there is also important work to be done around changing society's relationship to food. Growing, sharing, cooking and eating together creates unity as well as good physical and mental well-being. They believe that we can all work to build healthier people and communities through the simple act of commensality. They are currently building an area where people can regularly cook and eat together in a safe, outdoor environment.
