Early #apples don't store, but many picked in October keep for months if stored correctly. If you're replacing an old fridge or freezer - don't #waste it! #Recycled, it makes a perfectly insulated, humidity-controlled apple #store.🍎#Organic #sustainable #healthy #local #realfood

Investing in our children's food is investing in their future and our present. Done well, it's powerful engine of economic renewal and societal wellbeing.
Let's do it! #GoodFoodNation

Going to the source of our problems is often recognised as key. Going upstream, understanding the root causes...
Seed-saving is a powerful way of doing just that! Join in and be enlightened by the power of seeds.
