See SWNS story SWBRfarm. Four friends who started a veg box scheme during lockdown have crowdfunded £100K to buy their own FARM - to help provide for hundreds of families. The 'Middle Ground Growers' group of pals provided around 65 organic veg boxes a week to local people during lockdown - all delivered by bike. But they have now raised enough money to buy sixteen acres to turn their venture into a farm - and feed more than 600 families with their five a day. Hamish Evans, 24, Xavier Hamon, 39, Livi Rhodes, 31 and Sammy Elmore, 29, began growling veg on a small rented plot when the shop shelves were bare in 2020.
