The Journey of Our Work

We piloted a Community Supported Agriculture scheme, delivering veg bags to Croydon locals every 2 weeks. 

We launched the UK's first Black Farmer's Market in Brixton with 3,000 visitors and 5 traders selling out. 

We created a chutney, pickle and relish all made from produce in our market garden then sold at our Farmer's Markets. 

Co-created with Roots Allotments, we hosted a harvest festival involving an urban farm tour, African Drumming and mini market.

In collaboration with Brixton Bid, we hosted our 5th Farmer's Market and sold our fresh produce for the first time. 

Our Community Day in July was our biggest turnout involving garlic braiding, family meals and growing knowledge exchange. 

Funded by The Nest, a short film about the journey and identity of Black Growth CIC was displayed at the SOIL Exhibition 2025.

Two successful wellness festivals at Myatt's Fields Park combining our Black Farmer's Market with nature-based and creative  workshops.

Through hosting high-footfall, impactful events for traders, we’ve built a strong, trusted network of Black-owned businesses who consistently trade with us.

The Croydon Jamaican Jonkonnu Queen received a generous food donation from us for her amazing presence at Croydon Harvest. 

We were gifted land from Roots Allotments to further our mission of restoring the relationship between Black people and land.

Up to 10 children visited our Market Garden and assisted with creative signage for our polytunnel, shed and food beds. 

Located on Brixton Station Road for the second time, we hosted a market in September and October with beautiful weather. 

During Summer 2024 we worked with a one trader and London Docklands Museum for their Family Festival of Caribbean Culture.
