This year’s gathering of Community Supported Agriculture projects is hosted by Cae Tan CSA, near Swansea. As ever, we have a full and exciting programme lined up including workshops on: building membership; strengthening project finances; starting up; CSA for livestock producers; technical growing sessions; and of course farm walks.
The gathering is organised by the Federation of City Farms and Community Gardens and information on bespoke support to Wales CSAs through FCFCG’s Tyfu Fyny project will be available throughout the weekend.
We’ll be joined by the CSA Network UK board and members who will be holding their AGM as part of the gathering, giving Welsh CSAs the chance to meet with projects from across the UK. Like all gatherings before, this will also be a great social occasion and we will join the local community for a party to celebrate Cae Tan and CSA in general!

Fel o’r blaen, rydym ni wedi trefnu rhaglen lawn a chyffrous, gan gynnwys gweithdai ar: adeiladu aelodaeth; cryfhau cyllid prosiect; dechrau arni; Amaethyddiaeth a Gefnogir gan y Gymuned ar gyfer cynhyrchwyr anifeiliaid byw; sesiynau tyfu technegol; ac, wrth gwrs, teithiau cerdded ar y fferm.
Trefnir y cynulliad gan Ffederasiwn Ffermydd Dinesig a Gerddi Cymunedol a bydd gwybodaeth am gymorth pwrpasol i brosiectau Amaethyddiaeth a Gefnogir gan y Gymuned Cymru, trwy brosiect Tyfu Fyny FfFfDGC, ar gael trwy gydol y penwythnos.

Yn debyg i bob cynulliad blaenorol, bydd hefyd yn achlysur cymdeithasol gwych, a byddwn yn ymuno â’r gymuned leol mewn parti i ddathlu Cae Tan ac Amaethyddiaeth a Gefnogir gan y Gymuned yn gyffredinol.
