Making our first proper Food Hub delivery to @dailybreadcamb earlier this week! . The idea behind the Food Hub (put very simply) is to more efficiently connect up businesses that form part of our 'local food ecosystem', in order to create a more sustainable food system. Whilst we're at Daily Bread delivering @hodmedods, for example, we can also deliver @storimarket and @coffee_logs so fewer deliveries have to be made. . And because they're part of our Green Coffee Shop Scheme, at the same time we'll collect their coffee grounds, take them to @biobeanltd for recycling, maybe pick up some more @coffee_logs whilst we're a bio-bean... and so the system becomes circular 🌍 . This way we can make best use of vehicles being on the road (and so reduce emissions), help businesses to reduce their waste going to landfill, and support our local producers. . If it sounds a bit complicated, well, it is... But so are food systems! . #shoplocal #supportsmallbusinesses #reducewaste #circulareconomy #fair #progressive #sustainable
Excited to welcome the Three Horseshoes in Madingley (@madingley_3hs) into the Food Hub's local food ecosystem! They are trying out @coffee_logs in the pub's wood-burning stove. Burning 20% longer and hotter than dry wood, it is perfect timing as we move into the cold winter months ❄ . One of the questions that gets asked about the coffee logs most frequently is whether they smell of coffee when they burn. The answer is no, the smell is neutral - although let's be honest, would it really be that bad if they did? 😄☕ . #coffee #circular #green #reducewaste #recycle #coffeegram
The latest member of our crisp packet recycling scheme is @thebookwarrenandcafe in Willingham. They're also members of our Green Coffee Shop Scheme (#getyourselfacoffeeshopthatdoesboth 😛) . We always receive such a warm welcome when we're there and the food is delicious too. What better combination is there than good food, books, and a friendly atmosphere?? 📚🌯 . Interested in joining our crisp packet recycling scheme? Drop us an email at info@cambridgefoodhub.org, and check out our website for more information.

*** We've reached 10 tonnes! *** . As of last week, our Green Coffee Shop Scheme has saved an incredible 10,340kg of coffee grounds from going to landfill. Instead, we have taken them to @biobeanltd for recycling into @coffee_logs, utilising a resource that would otherwise be wasted. . A particular mention has to go to Lola (who was our very first employee). She has made most of the Food Hub's deliveries and coffee ground collections, taken the caddies to biobean in Alconbury, and is responsible for the not-particularly-pleasant task of cleaning out the caddies for reuse. Without her commitment, initiative and hard work the Food Hub definitely wouldn't be where it is today. Plus, she's just an all-round lovely person, and we're very lucky to have her on our team.
Happy #WorldFoodDay! (getting in with an hour to spare) . I was reflecting on our Instagram recently (as you do), and I feel our images really represent what's at the heart of the Food Hub: which is to say, fabulous people whose livelihood is food. The people who grow our food, who process our food, who cook us food, who sell us food... . And so many of the people we've had the pleasure to bring into the Food Hub family are committed to transforming our food system. . Together we can build a better food system. One that's equitable for all citizens, fair for our producers, and kind to our planet 💪🥕🌱
@shelforddeli are the latest participants in our crisp packet recycling scheme. . Pop into their cafe for beautiful homemade food (and a packet of crisps of course 😛) . #localfood #smallbusiness #localbusiness #Cambridgeshire #zerowaste #sustainable #circular
