Community Farm

Connor Fell is director of 'Connor's Community Farm' which services the entire community and is manned by community members.

The farm provides red meat, cereal and water according to the need of Heathfield and does not import or export anything.

The Heathfield of 2061 has 9,807 residents. The Future Village team have visualied what such a farm may look like and what space would be required to sustain the community.

Red Meat:
The number sheep required to feed the community is 22,066 equating to 2.25 sheep per person with each sheep yeilding 36kg. With every 5 sheep requiring an acre of land the overall farm land required is 4,413 acres in total.

Cereal:
589 Acres of cereal land producing 90kg of grain per person and 40kg per head for the livestock.

Water:
See Heathfield reservoir.

The farms community policies offer those out of work, drug or alchohol dependant or undertaking community service the opportunity to develop skills and / or rehabilitate and become a long-term member of staff as well as volunteers who are paid with produce (Connor's idea).
