Our Story
Middle Ground Growers (MGG) was born in 2019, on a small 2 acre market garden in the village of Bathampton.
​
Like all vegetables, MGG started with an idea: producing ecologically grown food for local communities.
We started by supplying a whole food shop in Bath and selling directly on the farm. Rapidly we also decided to launch a veg box scheme and began delivering to 20-25 families every week in 2020 and 75 households in 2021.
​
In 2022, we have upscaled our mission to grow on 16 acres and provide for 200 families plus over 10 local outlets.
​
The Co-Growers
Middle Ground Growers is an established Community Interest Company (CiC).
​
We are a core team of 4 full-time co-directors and founders taking on different areas of responsibility for the CIC and the growing.
We have a wider team of staff, trainees and volunteers who make this happen.
