Look at the difference in colour, texture & height. I love this stage of the Microgreen cycle. This is the phase of growth where we need to stay consistent & trust the process. 🌱🌱🌱🫶🏼

An ode to the end of a beautiful season. Happy autumn equinox, everyone 💛

Here are a few moments from New Moon’s last Farm Gate Friday of the year ~ a gathering that perfectly reflects what it’s all about: connection between people, food, and place.

We feel so lucky to have been a part of it, and we’re already looking forward to next year!

Our community keeps us going and we want to shout them out ~

This week we’re shouting out Urban Roots London! They’re doing incredible (!!!) work on making London a more food sovereign city and have been such solid partners with our ORCHARD Program as well as our free community pop-up markets 💚

The future of food is not just a question of agriculture. It’s a question of connection. Connection to the people who grow our food, the land it comes from, and the communities it nourishes.

We’re grateful to be surrounded by organizations working to build these ties!
