About Moss Lane Farm

A community farm for Chat Moss

Moss Lane Farm is a digital and physical platform that connects people with the land, and over time aims to grow into a landscape-wide effort supporting the future of Chat Moss — the lowland peat mosslands on the edge of Greater Manchester.

The farm is showcased as a community-owned asset, bringing together education, food growing, nature recovery, wellbeing, volunteering and community participation in one place.

What we're building

• Food growing — market-garden beds, orchard and polytunnels run with regenerative, peat-friendly methods.
• Nature recovery — habitat creation, wetland and hedgerows, with biodiversity recorded on every visit.
• Outdoor learning — curriculum-linked sessions and farm visits for schools and families.
• Community ownership — a route for local people to own and shape the farm through membership and community shares.

Our vision

To create a place — and a platform — that brings people together around nature, learning, good food and shared ownership. Land cared for by many hands, for many generations.
