Apron is creating a regenerative community farm in Lancing
Our Plan
Over the next five years, we will re-develop a former equestrian site in south Lancing, returning the land to food production and creating a vital natural space for people and wildlife to co-exist in harmony.
The regenerative Apron Community Farm, Wetland, and Heritage Craft Centre will give the diverse local community an accessible place to connect with each other, grow food, learn new skills, and enjoy arts, crafts, and culture in a natural setting.

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.
Further tree planting sessions are being organised with local Lancing community organisations, including Adur Voluntary Action, to ensure members of the local community have an opportunity to be involved in this important first step to creating their local community farm.
As we continue our work developing the project regular updates and opportunities for involvement will be shared with the community.
