Alice Holden

Alice set up our Dagenham Farm from scratch in 2012 and has nurtured the space and the soil to ensure it has produced over 5 tonnes of vegetables every year since then. She had previously spent many years working on farms, including a two-year Soil Association apprenticeship and managing a 100 acre farm in Wales. Her passion for a sustainable future then led her to urban horticulture.
