A community-owned farm in Sutton, which saw a surge in popularity during the pandemic, has said it is now running at a “significant loss”.

Sutton Community Farm has been running for the past 14 years and has gained 450 community shareholders.

The farm receives most of its funding from organisations including the City Bridge Trust and the National Lottery.

It is run by seven full-time staff and other volunteers, but is now appealing for more community support and council funds to keep it going.
