Apron is creating a regenerative community farm in Lancing. Keep up to date with our exciting plans and progress so far!

It’s been such an incredible summer on the farm. From building raised beds and creating the community growing space, to making a start on the sauna, sharing ideas and planting seeds, welcoming new volunteers and meeting so many wonderful members of the community.

Offers of help and donations of tools have been bountiful, and support from our neighbours and local businesses has spurred us on. The farm is taking shape thanks to each and every one of you who have taken part so far.

As autumn draws near it’s time for us to reflect, regroup and fundraise for our next steps.

Here’s how you can help:

1. Send us feedback and ideas if you came to any of our activities over the summer by sending us an email at info@aproncreative.com

2. Share our fundraiser far and wide DONATE HERE

3. Keep up to date with news and opportunities by clicking ‘Get Involved’ at the top of the page.

Saltgrass Sauna at Apron Community Farm is a Community Sauna where everyone is welcome. Proceeds from the Sauna directly support Apron and the farm. A community discount is offered to local residents.

There are changing facilities, seating areas and spaces to relax and enjoy the view, listen to the birds or simply be.

Please see the Saltgrass Sauna page for more information

We are delighted to announce that Adur District Council has approved planning for the first stage of development for Apron Community Farm.

We are so excited to return to the roots of the area by cultivating the land with the community.

Building on the hedgerow planting we carried out earlier this year, the fruit and vegetable plots will give residents and community members the opportunity to get outside, grow, and meet people, in a peaceful natural environment. We can’t wait to get growing over the summer!

As spring unfolds we are delighted to share that the planting of the first hedgerow saplings has taken place at Riverside, as proposals for the Apron Community Farm take shape.

Last week, Seaside Primary School and residents living most local to the site were invited to help plant the first saplings. This activity was led by Apron, with the support of the Woodland Trust and Weald to
Waves. And is was an opportunity for local residents to be part of this exciting moment for the farm, by planting a tree.
