We need YOUR help! We want to showcase farm to fork cooking & widen our existing cooking offer to include the whole community. We’re applying for funding to install a bespoke accessible Community Kitchen at the Farm, but need to show evidence of support: https://t.co/ouc2yHFePl

We made the most of the October sunshine in the River Garden with our Gardening for Wellbeing group - what a harvest! We also did the last of the container planting for the season, potted up Callaloo to grow in the greenhouse and saved Amaranth seed @SouthwarkHub #mentalhealth

We had a small crop of fruit from our quince tree this year. The Farm Produce students used the fruits to make some incredible Quince Jam, the first batch is now on sale via our online shop.
