Wassail! is a collection of poems for reading and performing, not only at wassails, but at blossom days, apple days and other orchard events 🍎 They were originally written in and for Coton Orchard near Cambridge, which is currently under threat 👉 lght.ly/48b7i2g

Happy summer solstice! If you’re heading to an orchard, note that in pagan folklore, evil spirits were said to appear tonight. Maybe just in case, wear a protective garland of herbs & flowers - the most potent was said to be St John's Wort (or 'chase devil')! 📷 Conall/Flickr

Today at the Farm, Pam taught us to make this spicy Carrot Pickle! 🥕 Learning how to cook and make preserves with the food we grow is such an important part of being in community and food security - and lots of fun!

Eating wild garlic pesto and foraging is high up on our list of a perfect way to spend a few hours and it looks like the local community in Hendon, London agree! We recently marked #EarthDay there with a new partnership with @Earthwatch_Eur to create a tiny new food forest.
