What about a community farm? Don't they have something like these in USA whereby families pay farm a monthly "subscription" then farm supplies seasonal produce throughout the year?

Community Supported Agriculture. Happens in the UK as well. But requires out to be near the right kind of community...

There's someone down this way doing the community thing. Complete mess and utter shambles. Like a complete hilly village and it used to be a very productive dairy and potato farm!
Their plan is to save the world, they need to save the home farm first!!
 
What farm idea's do people have to establish a farm that shall be of benefit to the community - I Have Listed A Couple Of Idea's Below
(A) Animal Sancutary
(B) Restidentidal Scheme For Young People
(C) Rest Bite
(D) Educational Farm park

Please leave ideas below?

Is this a hypothetical request, or do you actually have an existing farm that you propose to use?

If you have land already, then it would help to know the size, any buildings, and present use.

The question is a bit odd. Without more of an explanation of what he is after its going to make people suspicious.
His profile shows he is 18 years old. There was a similar thread he had a couple of weeks ago asking if anyone wanted to start a charity farm.
Plus the post in the wanted section looking for farm work for a 'graduated' agricultural student, (can you graduate from ag colleges by the time your 18?) and the fact he has yet to reply to this thread at all. I guess the question is hypothetical at best.
