Dropping off a load of surplus/'past best' food with @the_tristan_welch at @parkers_tavern ready for the 'Rubbish Cooks' event on Monday. . The haul also included donations from @hotnumberscoffee and @cocobolo_coffee_roasters. All part of the new service now being offered by the Food Hub, in collaboration with @cambridgesustainablefood, of collecting donated food from our members and making sure it reaches a destination where it is valued. . This food is going to be turned into a delicious meal which will not only prove that such food still has plenty of value, but which will also raise some money for @jimmyscambridge. If this sounds fun to you then I'm afraid you're out of luck because this popular event is sold out, but keep your eyes peeled as Tristan will be doing it again. . #reducewaste #foodwaste #sustainable #rubbishcooks #coffee #tea #cambridge #cambridgeshire #veg

Just been to @hotnumberscoffee as part of our Green Coffee Shop Scheme. They were deliberating over what to do with their expired Kandula tea. It can't be sold, but we've offered to take it to @jimmyscambridge and @wintercomfortforthehomeless as we expect they can still make a perfectly good brew with it. . All part of coordinating the local food ecosystem and helping to reduce food waste! . If you're part of a community group/charity and would be happy to receive goods such as these , or a business that produces food surplus, why not get in touch? . Email info@cambridgefoodhub.org . Fab work in this area is also being spearheaded by @cambridgesustainablefood, which we will be supporting. . #reducewaste #localsupplychains #sustainable #foodwaste #community #sustainablefood #sustainablebusiness

Introducing a brand-new local producer who's joined us as part of the Food Hub family! . Hamera and her mum at @urban_nature20 produce delicious and versatile mint salsa. Whether as a dressing for fresh salads or a dip for pakoras, the uses are many and varied! . "My grandmother put her heart and soul into her cooking, my mother puts all her love into her cooking and that love of delicious, fresh food is just too good not to share. So I started Urban Nature as a way of showcasing mum's modern, Asian and eclectic fusion of good food. . My mother and I work as a team in Cambridge which means that we can take advantage of the abundance of fresh, natural ingredients. Together we have put together this mint and coriander salsa to create a tango on your tongue, well actually it's salsa. It's just one of hundreds of great tasting recipes that come from the food capital of Pakistan, Lahore that my mother has brought with her, so that today we can pass on the love to you through our food. . In the coming months we'll continue to make our Asian recipes fusing them with modern, healthy ingredients, seasonal vegetables and packaging them in containers that can be recyled and reused so that you can feel good about Urban Nature both inside and out!" . #local #smallproducer #handmade #Cambridge #sustainable #plantbased #fusion

Loving the beautiful winter sunshine (and the aesthetic of this 🌈)

Feeling the heat from our coffee grounds at Waterland Organics 🔥 . If you visit one of our Green Coffee Shop Scheme members, this is the benefit your coffee grounds can have: helping to germinate veg for the year 🌱 . The heat produced by the coffee grounds in the compost is germinating early tomatoes, onions and peppers. Plus, the hot bed frame used by the farm is made from recycled pallets and polythene - proper low-impact farming 🌍 . Taking the coffee grounds to the farm is definitely one of the highlights of my week - I love seeing what they're doing with them! . All possible with some clever joined-up thinking 🤓 . Do you use coffee grounds on your own garden or allotment? . 📸: Waterland Organics . #organic #organicfarming #coffeegrounds #coffee #compost #eco #sustainable

Our Project Manager @alice_lmg wrote about her time at the @oxfordrealfarmingconf earlier this month. . From climate justice to the Black agrarian tradition, public health to farm labour, take a read if you're interested in having an insight into some of the contemporary debates in the world of food and farming. . "There were several themes that ran through the day’s sessions. Our relationship with the land was one: many of us need to develop a closer relationship with and understanding of the processes, people and natural resources that are necessary to produce our food. Another was around knowledge and education: what kind of knowledge we value; who we attribute knowledge to; the importance of sharing and passing on knowledge to enable future resilience; education combined with empowerment as a crucial part of changing our food system. A third would be the need to consider radical solutions and challenge the status quo, whether in the language we use, the way we approach food and public health, or the things that we teach future generations of farmers. Having now written ‘future’ twice in this paragraph, it’s clear that underlining all of these is a recognition that things, from the way we farm to patterns of land ownership, need to change to face the combined challenges of increasing environmental degradation and social inequality. . At the Food Hub we will continue to do our bit to build a food system that is fit for the future." . https://cambridgefoodhub.org/2020/01/20/oxford-real-farming-conference-2020/ .
