Barcombe Nurseries, one of the sellers at last Saturday’s #Eastbourne Farmers Market, donated their unsold organic produce at market’s end for distribution to local community fridges who serve people in #foodinsecurity. One of our volunteers kindly used his van to collect and distribute the produce.

It was a pleasure to support Tom from Herons Folly Garden on his first appearance at last Saturday’s #Eastbourne Farmers Market. Tom runs a magnificent organic farm & orchard in Mayfield. He sells organic apple juice & cider vinegar, plus lots of organic veggies. He did a roaring trade!

We're over the moon about how much interest our stall generated at last Saturday's #Eastbourne Farmers Market, held outside the Towner Gallery. Thanks so much to all who came along to find out who we are & what we do. We had so many fab conversations, & some people even offered to volunteer with us.

Lovely Instagram post from Joe Hill, CEO of Towner Gallery, which collaborated with us to curate this new Farmers Market for #Eastbourne, showcasing #GoodFood from around #Sussex. We're delighted today was so successful; some stalls sold out of produce well before the end! Next market on August 2nd.

Last week, Defra published new figures showing that UK farmers lost over £1bn in 2024 due to extreme weather conditions – with wheat production falling to its lowest level in four years. Exceptionally wet weather, poor planting conditions, and falling prices have left many arable farms struggling.

📢 Our latest report finds 36% of meat eaten by children is processed - despite the health warnings.
We'd love schools, restaurants and fast-food outlets to start offering more plant-rich options for families.
