Stanmer Organics is a non-profit community based project based within Stanmer Park. The overall focus of the project is the environmental protection for the city of Brighton and Hove.

Stanmer Organics is situated within a green hub that was constructed using 5 core ideas. These 5 core ideas are: sustainable construction, low impact materials, passive solar panels, renewable energy and rainwater harvesting. The way in which the centre has incorporated all green features within tis building design has given it the status of an earthship. Earthship Brighton was the first project set up by The Low Carbon trust. The eco-build was constructed in hope of inspiring the local community to respond to climate change and take back what they experienced at the earthship to their homes and work places.

Stanmer Organic grow their own food and sell it within Brighton and Hove. They hope that by growing their own food, the community will be encouraged to do the same and further reduce the level of travel that comes along with buying food from supermarkets.
