Dean Community Food Survey

Dean Community Food is a local group aiming to develop a local organic vegetable box scheme at affordable prices. We are based at Ragmans Lane Farm and we also offer social and educational activities and would like as many local people to be involved as possible.

This survey is to help us better understand the interests of our current and potential members. It will take about 5 minutes to complete.

All information will be confidential and anonymous.
