** NEW FOR 2021 ** Let's build a more circular economy. Reduce, re-use, repair and recycle, as well making sure we support local businesses and food producers.
Alongside our farm, we also run a 2 acre allotment site, welcoming people into our farm to grow their own. Our site has grown from the initial 12 plots in 2010 to 50 plots today.
We have made many new friends throughout the years because of our allotments.

The environmentalist @billmckibben once characterized the fossil fuel industry’s behavior as “the most consequential cover-up in US history”
Will the fossil fuel industry now pay the price in court?

British farmers go above and beyond around the clock to keep the nation fed. This #Farm24 I want to thank them and recognise the extraordinary contribution they make every day to this country.
They will always have my support.

17% of the food available to consumers - in shops, households & restaurants - goes directly into the bin!
The 923 million tonnes of food being wasted each year would fill 23 million 40-tonne trucks. Bumper-to-bumper, enough to circle the Earth 7 times. https://t.co/2EiH1lLG6u
So lucky that this chap (and sometimes his/her mate) drop by every night for a bit of “Spike’s Dinner” outside the back door. We installed a proper house under our hedge last summer and hope someone used it in the Winter. @HedgehogCabin when is a good time to clean it out?
We are so lucky to have hedgehogs resident under our large beech hedge. This one turns up as regular as clockwork at 10.15pm to hoover up any mealworms from the birdfood that the eagle-eyed Robin has missed.
We have fed them nightly for over a year now! #springwatchlist
Getting a bit good at this banana bread recipe from @adrienne_ldn. Just have to keep making and eating it until it is perfect. This is number four! Thank you Adrienne and @waitrose.

How about a campaign to get manufacturers to actually #fillthebox? I don’t buy the ‘contents may settle’ BS. We are being cheated. Huge carbon savings for smaller, fuller packets
Should I name and shame a few....?

We launched this with @samm_designs at the weekend but it's for you to use every day! If you are a maker looking for more #ecofriendly supplies – or can pass on any unwanted materials to another creative – use #doesanyonewant to find each other 💚 #Sustainability#giftideas
Why not plant some pretty #borage this year? This easy-to-grow hardy annual is a bee-magnet and sown close to your veg patch (or on the allotment) will attract loads of useful pollinators!
