Just in case you’ve been popping in here to check what we’re up to, this is just to let you know that quick updates happen on our facebook and Twitter pages – and news and blog articles will soon start to appear on our main website, after it’s had a little bit of sprucing up! Thanks for reading this blog and we hope we’ll see you elsewhere on social media!
Remember the Hanging Basket Workshop of a few weeks ago, led by Maxine of Halls of Heddon? This is how the basket created by one of the group is looking now. Totally gorgeous!
Continuing our occasional series about why people joined Go Local and why it is important to them.
Amy joined GO Local Food about 4 years ago as a work share and since then has found herself involved in much else! She is currently a Director and our events coordinator, and is always on the lookout for help with events. Amy continues to enjoy just being on the fields too!.
When you say Co-operative many people in the UK think of the supermarket. But Go Local Food is a co-op too, run by its members for its members. Don’t think that the only co-op in the world is a major grocery store!
This week’s crop share: Potatoes, green onions, lettuce, broad beans, radish and cucumber.
While more leeks are being planted outside, there’s plenty going on in the polytunnels. The very first tomatoes have set fruit, the cucumber plants are all in and aubergines have been planted too! They’ve been inter-planted with beans so as to make best use of the available growing space.
And there was a welcome visitor in the polytunnel too. There seem to be plenty of ladybirds around this year.
