🌱 A REAL ASK FROM MIDDLE WORLD FARMS 🌱

Last year we had around 23 members.

This year we reached 55 members… and completely sold out.

And now we have another 45 people sitting on the waiting list.

That means the waiting list alone is nearly double our entire membership from last year.

Honestly, we never expected this.

People are finally starting to believe in local food again. Real food. Grown here, by human hands, for this community.

But the truth is, we are right on the edge now.

For the first time ever, Middle World Farms is getting close to being able to properly employ local people. Not just survive season to season — actually create jobs, train people, and build something lasting for Lincoln.

But we are not there yet.

The next few months are absolutely critical. The farm has grown faster than we ever imagined, and right now we need volunteers from the community to help carry this momentum through the season.

Not because we want “free labour”.

Because this farm was never supposed to belong to just us.

This was always meant to be a community-supported farm. A place where people come together to rebuild local food resilience, reconnect with nature, and prove there is another way forward besides giant supply chains and imported food travelling thousands of miles.

If Middle World Farms matters to you…
If you believe Lincoln should feed Lincoln…
If you want children growing up understanding where food comes from…
If you want wildlife, soil, and people thriving together…

Then now is the moment we need you.

Even a couple of hours helps massively.

No experience needed.
Just good people willing to muck in.

Planting.
Harvesting.
Packing veg boxes.
Weeding.
General farm jobs.
Tea drinking and solving the world's problems.

This community has already achieved something incredible. Far beyond what we thought possible.

Now we need help to carry it over the line.

Let’s Grow Together 🌱

Come a have your say on how the food system should work for us.

Lincolnshire Food Summit 2026 is on the theme of civil food resilience

The Lincolnshire Food Summit is an opportunity for organisations in the food system to come together to share inspiring practice, discuss key issues, and solve problems together.

When: Thursday 14th May 2026, 9:30am-4:00pm
Where: Wragby Town Hall
Tickets: £10 (low-cost and supporter tickets also available) HERE
This year’s summit focuses on civil food resilience, and is a place-based response to the important Just in Case report by Prof Tim Lang.

Food Resilience means different things to different people: some are thinking about diversity in crops, diets or supply chains, others about the survival of their farming business or community organisation, others about how the poorest households afford and access healthy diets.

But these issues are fundamentally connected, and fair, inclusive solutions to food resilience require us to see them as such.

The purpose of this year’s Lincolnshire Food Summit is to bring multiple conversations on food resilience into the same room, co-create a shared picture of the issues in Lincolnshire, and develop place-based responses together.

The Summit will be of particular relevance to those involved in the food system, from farming, retail and catering, through policy, education and health, to social food support, community kitchens and local growing projects.

Keynotes from Professor Sarah Bridle and Dominic Watters

Panel discussions on:

Diverse farming & supply, with Hannah Thorogood Inkpot Farm , Matilda Dennis, Stenigot Estate, Martin Taylor Middle World Farms , John and Jack Turner ;

Quick update from yesterday 😊

Things have moved fast — we’re now down to just 5 spaces left for this season.

The response this week has honestly been incredible — thank you to everyone who’s joined so far 🌱

We’ll keep building towards around 80 over the season as more crops come through…

But right now, we can only take a handful more without compromising quality.

Once these last few spots are gone, we’ll be closing sign-ups and starting a waiting list.

If you’ve been thinking about joining, now really is the time 👍

There’s a lot of talk at the moment about rising food prices, fertiliser shortages, and the knock-on effects of global conflict.

And yes — it’s real.

Nitrogen fertiliser in particular is heavily tied to global energy markets, and when those are disrupted, it puts pressure on large-scale farming systems that rely on it.

But here’s something important that often gets missed:

Local, small-scale farms are built differently.

We still feel the pressure — fuel, materials, seeds, everything is affected — but our food system isn’t dependent on long supply chains or imported inputs in the same way.

We grow food here. For people here.

That means:
🥕 Short supply chains
🌱 Soil-led fertility, not just synthetic inputs
🚜 Less reliance on global systems
🤝 Direct relationships with the people we feed

So while the wider system may feel increasingly fragile… local food systems are part of the resilience.

This isn’t about fear — it’s about understanding where your food comes from, and why that matters.

If you’ve ever thought about supporting a local farm, now is a very real moment where it makes a difference.

🌿 Joining our veg box scheme just got a whole lot simpler.

We've quietly rebuilt the way you subscribe to Middle World Farms from the ground up — and it's now just a few taps.

Pick your box. Choose how often. Set a price that honestly works for you (yes, really — we mean it). Pay securely. Done.

No account to create first. No phone calls. No faff.

We built our solidarity pricing model because we believe fresh, locally grown veg shouldn't only be for people who can afford premium prices. The new wizard puts that right upfront — you decide what you pay, and every box helps keep the farm running and supports the members who need a lower price.

👉 Try it here: https://middleworldfarms.org

Your first box is packed fresh from the farm. You can skip, pause or cancel any time — no questions asked.

🌱 Same farm. Same veg. Just easier to get on board.
