We popped up outside GAIL's Bakery in Blackheath for a Delica Pumpkin Fundraiser. A huge thanks to the GAIL's team, to everyone who dropped by to try the soup or take home a pumpkin, and especially to Oscar, who donated 300 pumpkins to the cause. We started the Farm Fund to support young farmers to begin their journey into agroecological growing. Applications close on February 2nd — find out more and apply before the deadline here: https://lnkd.in/e7yeDKzw Plus, find Delica Pumpkin & Farro Soup rotating on every GAIL's menu until March, when Oscar’s pumpkin season ends.
Last weekend we hosted our friends Natoora at our Blackheath bakery to sell Delica pumpkins in support of Farm Fund. They raised just under £1000 to support younger growers using agroecological methods. They offer vital alternatives to the intensive farming systems that are depleting our ecosystems and human health. The pumpkins were kindly donated by Italian grower Oscar, who has supplied his flavourful produce to Natoora for a decade.
