Newtownabbey Borough Council's Community Services Department has established a Social Economy Enterprise entitled 'Sewing Seeds.' This company provides and sells locally made produce from Arts and Crafts items to locally grown flowers, fruit and vegetables.

Sewing Seeds has recently secured £24,100 from Newtownabbey Local Strategy Partnership and acquired land at Sentry Hill, Newtownabbey Borough Council's History House. Development has started on this land to convert it into a market garden to facilitate the production of home grown flowers, fruit and vegetables.

All community groups and/or individuals have the opportunity to contribute to this project. All proceeds will be reinvested for the future sustainability of the company.
