"Bentley Urban Farm will not be open until I've finished cleaning up and re-securing the site.

“To be honest, I'm borderline jacking it all in. Yours, heartbroken again, Warren.”

The farm describes itself as an upcycled market garden which uses reclaimed materials to teach people how to grow food and is based in Bentley High Street.
