🥗 Just because the weather's getting cooler (and wetter) doesn't mean a lack of locally grown seasonal veggies.

👩‍🌾 We have two excellent growers in #NorthLondon who sell nature friendly food all year: Enfield Veg Co and GROW.

They operate slightly differently, find out more in the comments below 👇

Hate Black Friday (like me)?

How about Bean Friday instead?

Highly recommend you give this #BoldBeanCo Squash, sage and goats cheese bean-otto recipe a try tonight 😋

In fact, just get their cookbooks, there are lots of other tasty treats like this one.

I find this info helpful, thanks @octopus.energy

Just a little thing but, I was about to put the dishwasher on but will now wait until this evening instead.

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?

Barnet is lucky enough to be getting two, yes two, new community orchards this winter 🥰

Both have various sessions to join in with the creation, planting and caring for the trees.

Disappointing to say the least.

Maybe they missed ALL THE INFO ABOUT FIXING THE FOOD SYSTEM TO FIX THE PLANET 😵
Confirmation that diet change (i.e. less meat and dairy, more beans and veg) plays no role in UK Gov's decarbonisation plan - they're opting instead for 'precision feeding', methane-suppressing supplements, and breeding programmes that aid intensification. Disappointing.

We had a very apeeling day at the Incredible Edible Barnet Apple and Pear celebration a few weeks ago.

Thanks to everyone who came, donated apples, chopped, crushed, pressed, drank, chatted, tasted, shared food memories, made mobiles, peeled apples and looked for bugs!

Thank you FoE for finding the right words for such a terrible situation.

And sending my personal thoughts to the Jewish people in my community in Barnet. We stand with you against hate.
We condemn the appalling attack on Heaton Park Synagogue in Manchester.

To all of those facing increasing violence and hostility on the basis of their race, faith or where they're from, please know that we stand alongside you.

I don't think the media realises they don't need to tell people to eat less meat to help climate and biodiversity issues, they just need to help people eat more beans (and other veggies)!
Meat is a leading emissions source – but few outlets report on it, analysis finds
Sentient Media reveals less than 4% of climate news stories mention animal agriculture as source of carbon emissions

Absolute treat to find this little one in my garden this evening!

It was in an area that wouldn't have been easy for it to get out, so it was moved into the veg beds, where it can hopefully snack on all the visiting 🐌🐌🐌🐌

The @bmfforum.bsky.social's Interfaith Gardening and Green Food picnic last weekend, as part of the @london.gov.uk's #MayorsCommunityWeekend, was such an enjoyable day 😍

I loved sharing plants from Incredible Edible Barnet with people from across Barnet and beyond. And the food was delicious too 😋
