Fresh Local Food
We work with nature to grow an exciting range of fruit, vegetables and herbs, enabling us to deliver both social and environmentally beneficial projects
We have a range of people helping us to grow local produce; from an Organic Bio-dynamic Farm in Sutton Bonnington to Allotment Holders who prefer to sell us their surpluses rather than letting it go to waste.
