The Hounslow Community Farming Association aims to provide vocational employment opportunities in horticulture/farming for individuals in Hounslow whilst at the same time improving the quality of the urban environment.

We are currently on site at a underused allotment owned by the London Borough of Hounslow at Faggs Road/Heron Way, Feltham (see find us link left) and are also working in partnership Hounslow Council, Hounslow Homes, Capel Manor Horticultural College and many other local organisations.
