moelyci environmental centre
Gwynedd
One of the UK’s first community owned farms Ffarm Moelyci has, since 2003,
pioneered the idea that community ownership can play a part in how farming both
grows good food and nurtures strong communities. With 390 acres of superb
wildlife the farm includes a wide range of habitats including: The 220 acres of
SSSI heath-land mountaintop; Gwynedd’s finest grasslands for finding fungi. This
rich environment is the backdrop to the new era at Ffarm Moelyci. In 2018, after
a long period of uncertainty, the farm was sold on the open market to a
consortium Ymlaen Moelyci. Ymlaen Moelyci is a consortium of 10+ individual
landowners who work collaboratively to make Ffarm Moelyci a success. Each member
is able to drive their business to success on their own land, whilst all coming
together to pool ideas, inspiration and knowledge. Whilst now being privately
owned, the farm can continue to provide benefits its community has come to love
and much much more…
