All Ours - Food
The healthy food served at our All Ours meetings is locally produced and supplied by supporting businesses and organisations.
The Fresh Gardens
The Fresh Gardens, part of Ecoworks, are located on the St Anns Allotment site, very close to the community centre - the distance the food travels from their gardens to our project is very minimal !!! - just across the road, in fact. Fresh is a social enterprise which aims to make organically grown fruit and vegetables available and affordable to all, as well as reducing food miles. FRESH also delivers horticultural training to young unemployed people and offers educational activities for all. For more information about the project, please contact Claire Peeters on 07815 296071 or email claire.peeters@ntlworld.com.
Arkwright Meadows Community Gardens
Arkwright Meadows Community Gardens is a community garden in the heart of the meadows producing organically grown fruit and vegetables at a low cost price for the community to buy. They work with local schools and community groups and with the support of volunteers. They are open Monday to Thursday 9-4 for vegetable sales to the public. For further information please contact 0115 9867777.
