Fordhall Community Land Initiative announced their success in raising enough funds to buy the farm and set it aside for use as an organic farm, wildlife preserve, and community resource. As noted earlier in the week, the Fordhall is a landmark British organic farm whose tenants needed £800,000 to buy the land and save it from development.
Over 6,000 people worldwide bought shares and sent donations to the effort, according to the Fordhall Initiative Diary.
The next phase is to begin work on a bunkhouse for volunteers and an educational center. The Initiative will continue to sell shares to raise monies for those projects.
