We start the tour at the converted stables where a couple of the growers are fork-lifting pallets of fruit and veg onto a lorry. This fresh organic produce will be on school plates locally, and across Greater Manchester, tomorrow lunch time.  \nMany of these schools visit the farm throughout the year to learn about where and how their food is produced.  \nIn the polytunnel we meet recent graduates from our FarmStart programme. They choose to be based here because they can access affordable land, work alongside experienced growers, keep their costs lower by using Manchester Veg People’s shared marketing and distribution service and benefit from Kindling’s volunteers.  \nWe walk through the coppiced woodland, spotting birds in the native trees. But the trees don’t stop there, our vegetables and cereals are grown between rows of fruit trees-6000 trees in total! This is known as agroforestry and is an amazing farming system that improves yields, soil health and biodiversity. Inspired by pioneering farmers in the Southeast, we now receive many visits, enquiries and much enthusiasm about this hugely ecological and productive way to farm. I explain that the field of flowers in front of us is managed by a new local enterprisesupplying weddings, funerals and romantics across the Northwest! The field to the left supplies flax to companies producing textiles, oil and construction materials.  \nWe talk about the highly efficient buildings and the district heating system, the production of our own energy and our zero-waste plan. I explain how, working with the Manchester-based Fairfield Group, lorries taking food into the city return with waste veg for us to compost. As well as keeping our soil healthy, the composting process itself generates heat for our polytunnels, extending our veg growing season.  \nThe aroma of fresh baking wafting from the Social Enterprise Hub makes us hungry, and as we enter the café it is bustling with people. You hear a group in animated discussion about engaging communities in climate change solutions. “It sounds interesting in theory” you comment, and one of them responds that it is far from ","cbCaidY0HrPC5v3I","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidY0HrPC5v3I","pdf",4227354,72,"English","# overview\n## Executive Summary\n## Kindling Farm’s Mission Statement\n# who we are\n## Our context\n## Our foundations\n## Our people\n## Our governance\n# Kindling farm\n## The farm we’d like to buy\n## Description of Kindling Farm\n## Need for Kindling Farm\n## Social impact of Kindling Farm\n# marKeting plan\n## Kindling Farm produce\n## Non produce trading\n# maKing it happen\n## Financing the farm purchase and refurbishment\n## Community shares\n## Next steps after the purchase of the farm\n## Running Kindling Farm\n# financeS\n## Historical financial performance of Kindling Farm\n## Investment in farm and sources of capital\n## Forecast financial performance\n# appendiceS\n## Theory of Change\n## Glossary\n## Organisations referenced in this business plan\n## Farm Establishment Advisory Group\n## Business Risk Register\n## Draft Farm Manager job description\n## Future plans and projects at Kindling Farm\n## Development phases\n## Detailed financial modelling\n## References","[{\"question\":\"What does the business plan cover and for what time horizon?\",\"answer\":\"It covers the first five years of establishing Kindling Farm, including purchase and initial refurbishment, with financial projections for the following 25 years.
