What we do

We grow and campaign for local food.

Follow the links on the left to see in detail what we’re up to. Or you can get involved yourself.

From our beginnings with herb gardens, we’ve taken to planting and growing veggies and trees round town, we’ve planted two orchards and there are more to come, and we’re working with public bodies round town to use their land – like the fire station and the railway station – or to work with them on their own Incredible ideas – like social landlord Pennine Housing.

Every school in the town is now involved in growing with us.

We’re reaching back into local memories and knowledge with our History project. And we’re daring to imagine different futures with Dream Streets.

Our campaigns aim to make different futures happen. Our big local campaign at the moment is Every Egg Matters. And we’re also spreading the word locally, regionally and nationally.

We hope to make a difference with major projects. The Lottery are still deciding whether our food hub at Tod High School is worth the money. That bid includes the work of a food-inspirer, because how we use and cook our food is the vital final link in the food chain: so we’re putting together recipes in What’s cooking in Tod.
