This newsletter turned out longer than expected - that's not necessarily a bad thing. We're doing some cool stuff, especially around sustainability. Our recent Food Forest open day was very successful - big thanks to Niki Jones for all his hard work, and thank you Robin, Susan, Kathryn and the team from the Food Forest for everything you do. 

That's all for now, folks,
