Come and sample delicious plant-based offerings from some of our local suppliers!
By connecting people directly with local and ethically sourced produce, we hope to raise awareness and action for the sustainable production and consumption of food. 

We will also give a compostable bag demo to show how our packaging degrades 🤗

It's National Allotments Week!

For 20 years the National Allotment Society have been "raising awareness of allotments and their role in helping people to live healthier lifestyles, grow their own food, develop friendships & bolster communities". (Quoted text from NSALG website.)

Here’s our in store display table with our National Allotments Week product picks:

Blackboard with chalk writing saying National Allotment Week
Wicker bowl containing Handmade Norfolk Soaps Gardener's Hand soap, Badger Balm for hardworking hands, and Boxworth Botanicals gardeners hand cream
National Allotments Week display table with blackboard, seeds, soaps, gardening gloves, and greeting cards
Wooden display containing packets of wildflower seeds from King's Seeds, and seeds from Green Manures range

Did you know we have our own little growing space in front of Daily Bread that nurtures these principles too?

Going back a few years, Transition Cambridge set us up with an edible landscaping platform in the form of raised fruit/veg beds as part of their Growing Spaces project. Their volunteers transformed an area by our carpark into a space where the community can come and pick their own fruit & veg!

The raised beds are decorated with Jayne Ruffell-Ward’s beautiful steel sculptures as can be seen on the Growing Spaces website. We currently have fruit, veg, and herbs growing, so come and see if there’s anything ready and ripe for the picking!
