Growing Futures
Growing Futures – A cooperative food growing and retail business that’s also an education centre, visitor attraction and eco-hotel.
This is Incredible Edible Mytholm’s vision. Their imagination is free-range, and their feet are on the ground.
Growing Futures will be much more than a great day out in Hebden Bridge. It will also be:
- an innovative, sustainable food growing business that provides living wage jobs
- an education and training resource for all ages – from three to 103 – that attracts sustainability students from far and wide
- a retail market for local food producers
- an innovative eco hotel, which also has glamping pods and yurts
- a venue for eco-themed arts and music
