This harvest season has been one of the toughest in recent memory for British apple growers. After the wettest September since 1918, October has continued to bring heavy downpours and challenging conditions. Despite this, growers are still hard at work, with some varieties yet to be picked over the next few weeks. Let's #BackBritishFarming by choosing locally grown British apples—fresh, flavourful, and full of goodness! 🍏🍎 #OrchardWatch #Harvest2024

It was great to be part of this conversation and we're looking forward to the next steps! Alison Capper innocent drinks #BackBritish #BritishApples
At innocent, we’re all about fruit and veg. But we know lots of people still aren’t getting their 5-a-day. So, this morning, we teamed up with our friends at UKHarvest to host a breakfast roundtable at their Nourish Hub, getting down to the core of increasing accessibility to fruit & veg. We chatted about the big barriers, shone a light on some inspiring initiatives, and explored how we can all learn from the amazing work happening across the country. We’ll help share the brilliant insights and solutions from this group soon, so keep your eyes peeled. A shout out to our speakers Ffion Hayward Amy Deptford Megan Blake Karina O'Gorman (she/her) Louisa Handley, RNutr (AfN) and to Rupy Aujla for chairing. And to all the experts who joined us, thank you.
