Good food for all

We believe there should be no need for foodbanks, and that everyone should have access to healthy, sustainable food.

But for an increasing number of people, this is not the reality.

By supporting your local foodbank or community cafe, we can stand together with people facing hardship right now.

Choose a Sustainable Diet

Eat seasonally (for seasonal recipes and ideas, we love Veg Hacks)

Eat more vegetables, fruit and nuts.

Eat more UK beans and pulses – they’re a vital part of sustainable farming. Try Hodmedods for UK grown

Go for less and better meat & dairy (if you eat animal products) avoiding ultra-processed. If you eat meat, look for Pasture for Life, Organic, or produce from a local mixed farm

Support Lincolnshire Producers

If we want a thriving sustainable food economy, we need to support our good food producers, and the cafes, restaurants and shops that connect them to us:

– Farmers markets and farm shops

– Local veg box, e.g Eden Farm or Community Supported Agriculture, e.g. Ropsley Market Garden, or Middle World CSA 

– Big Barn lists local food businesses when you put in your postcode

Grow Community & Urban

Growing food in urban and shared spaces such as community gardens or allotment can:

• provide fresh, flavoursome foods without transport and packaging
• pass on skills & foster community
• improve connection with our food, nature and the land
• support health and well being
• develop resilient seeds
• lead to respect and empathy with our farmers and growers, and the incredible work that they do
