We all know organic food is good for our bodies, but good for our brains? If the people at Growing Well have anything to do with it, then yes. Certified by The Soil Association Growing Well is a social enterprise run from Low Sizergh Barn organic farm in Cumbria. It provides voluntary placements for local people who are getting over mental health problems, in the hope the hustle and bustle of a working farm will help them regain confidence. They also offer a wide range of horticultural training courses in conjunction with Kendall College, which are open to the general public. All of the organic produce grown on the six acre farm are sold to local shops and businesses.
