October 🍎🥬 🍂 Summer crops have faded, but the growing season is far from over. Autumn is one of the busiest times in the vegetable calendar. This year’s harvest tells a story of resilience. Some crops thriving, others bear the marks of the drought. Through it all, nature continues its recovery.

Freshly gathered this week. Served this Saturday. Our volunteers have been out harvesting organic produce for this week’s Pay What You Feel lunch. What starts in the field ends around a shared table, bringing people together over good food, live music and conversation.

This summer has been hard. On the farms we work with, we’ve seen the effects of drought firsthand: crop loss, produce damaged by heat and pests, and people working through incredibly challenging conditions. 🧵1

While most people were settling in for the evening, a group of eleven volunteer pickers were out in a beetroot field making sure the crop would be eaten, not wasted. Picking later in the day meant a more comfortable glean, with plenty of conversation, shared fruit and banter along the rows.

Today’s surplus could be tomorrow’s food security. Courgettes and tomatoes are abundant right now. Our planned produce preparation and preservation facility would allow us to capture that abundance, preparing and freezing fresh produce for future use.

Food in Community @foodincommunity.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

Behind every food box our volunteers deliver is a story - of worry, resilience, and the quiet strength it takes to keep going. A delivery of fresh fruit and vegetables is not just food, but a moment to breathe. A chance to prepare a healthy meal, to nourish loved ones, and to feel cared for…

This week, we’ve been moving our produce‑handling equipment into our new production facility. It might look like machinery — but to us, it represents something much bigger: reliable access to organic food for people who are being pushed out of healthy choices, people in hospital, school children.

🚛 Big day yesterday! Our food production line was delivered. 2 lorries off loaded in 2 hours and the setting out process began. 🥔 One significant step closer to supporting farmers by processing surplus / wonky veg, whilst increasing #foodsecurity for the wider community. ☀️ A lovely day for it!
