Food co-op

In 2006, RCMA helped establish a food co-op in the Riverside area. As well as providing low cost fresh produce, the Coop helps create strong social links between the diverse communities of Riverside.

RCMA has received funding from the Assembly to prepare a business plan for the RCMA Market Garden which will be set up on 5 acres of land near Cardiff with the aim of contributing to the supply of locally grown organic produce
