CHAOS Farm

Nothing brings learning about food farming and the countryside to life more than seeing it. Proud to be the host the CHAOS Farm Project.

Down on the Roseland you'll find CHAOS Farm - historically named Camills farm, but now the heart and home of The CHAOS Group. We believe nothing brings learning about food farming and the countryside to life more than seeing it up close. We've opened our gates, unlocking the potential of outdoor learning, connecting with nature and influencing lives and lifestyle changes.

Our Wellfed team have been keeping super busy at CHAOS Farm every Friday.

Our action-packed sessions usually run with a mix of gardening, harvesting and packing veg boxes before we cook up a healthy lunch together.

With just a 30 minutes gap from harvesting veg to putting it on plates, food doesn't get any fresher or healthier!

WellFed Cornwall is a ‘test and learn’ pilot research partnership between local NHS providers, sustainable food growers, voluntary and community sector organisations (VCSE) and Cornwall Council Public Health. It's primary focus is supporting people living with type 2 diabetes or pre‑diabetes with a free weekly box of locally and agroecologically grown vegetables, alongside 12 weeks of tailored support.

Sustainability is more than a buzzword at CHAOS 🌱

From reducing food waste and supporting community food sharing to regenerative horticulture and care farming, we're helping people and the planet thrive together. 💚

How many CHAOS gardeners does it take to stand on their heads and balance courgettes?

Looks like 2!

It's been Veggie Olympics this week at the farm as the relentless heat finally take its toll on the gardeners!

Courgettes have been a top cropper for us this year, and we've been growing them both in the polytunnels and outside market garden.

🌱 Turning surplus into support! 🌱

At The CHAOS Group, we believe that food belongs on plates, not in landfill. Through our food hub, we're helping to reduce food waste by redistributing surplus food to individuals, families and communities across Cornwall.

Every rescued item makes a difference for both people and the planet. 💚

We're a month in to running our Wellfed project at the farm.

WellFed Cornwall is a ‘test and learn’ pilot research partnership between local NHS providers, sustainable food growers, voluntary and community sector organisations (VCSE) and Cornwall Council Public Health.

Each pilot provides people living with type 2 diabetes or pre‑diabetes with a free weekly box of locally and agroecologically grown vegetables, alongside 12 weeks of tailored support. This can include vegetable preparation, growing and cookery skills to build confidence with new foods, as well as opportunities to join community food activities that increase social and nature connection, boost physical activity and strengthen community engagement.

We're having a great time so far and learning lots about healthy eating.

Thanks to for getting us involved!

Summer crops bring heaps of colour to the farm and rainbows to your plate!

We've been growing 3 different types of beetroot this summer. A classic red beetroot, a golden beetroot (sweeter and great roasted) and a chioggia beetroot, which with it's swirly centre looks great sliced raw on salads.

We're in peak production right now and while the drought conditions make growing tough, crunching down on this fine summer produce makes the toil all worth it.

Over the next couple of months are welcoming a new group of volunteers to the market garden.

These volunteers are all part of a project called run by .

These ‘free veg on prescription’ pilots (or trials) are for people who:
• have type 2 diabetes or
• have pre-diabetes, also known as ‘non-diabetic hyperglycaemia’. This is when you are at risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

WellFed started when a Cornwall GP ‘prescribed’ free healthy vegetable boxes for her patients with type 2 diabetes. Using the vegetables helped these patients reduce or reverse their diabetes. For some, it worked better than taking diabetes medicine. It improved their physical health and how they felt in themselves.

Our sessions involve some light gardening work, harvesting vegetables for volunteers veg boxes and making some healthy light meals together (this week was a tomato and bean salad and some tasty padron peppers!)

Looking forward to the rest of these sessions!

We were delighted to have been able to help Shortlanesend Primary School with developing their new school garden.

The project developed by and seeks to deliver a programme for schools where National Childhood Measurement Programme (NCMP) data shows a higher prevalence of childhood obesity.

Through this programme, participating schools have received funding and resources to establish growing projects with their Reception and Key Stage 1 classes.

We've led several sessions with the pupils, helping them to prepare growing beds for planting and sowing and it was great to hear that the lettuce we grew together was eaten this week by the pupils.

Our new sensory garden at St Erme is built on a foundation of salvage, upcycling and re-use.

From reclaimed fence posts and slate roofing tiles to breathing new life into discarded, forgotten furniture, this has been our approach to creating a unique new garden for our community.

A garden doesn't have to be expensive. Using some natural materials and a bit of paint can really brighten up a space, no matter what's it size .

It was so lovely to be able to join up and present to other Cornish food and drink businesses that are certified B Corps or looking to start their journey to a more sustainable business.

We became B Corp certified/ accreditation in March 2023 and are extremely proud to have joined a global community of businesses who balance profit with people and the planet, dedicating their time to building a better world.

B Corps™ are businesses that meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose.

Getting there was tough (the application is rigorous) but we know the B Corp badge doesn’t just mean we meet the highest environmental and social standards; it also commits us to keeping these high standards up for the long haul.

Thanks to for hosting the event.
