It’s been a cold start to the year. To help us on our journey towards a promising new year, the whole grower team are heading down to the Oxford Real Farming Conference today. We are eager to learn and exchange with many people working within the transformative food systems. Our own Jo will be speaking about the campaign she started to secure a universal basic income for farmers. Look forward to seeing you in Oxford.

This week, our new grower Jo Poulton started on the farm. Jo comes to us with ample experience in growing in many different climates, including Scotland and Australia. She is a founder of the Basic Income for Farmers campaign which has been gaining a great deal of traction this summer. We are excited to have her here. She will be covering Maddy over the winter and will eventually replace Petra in February 2025 who is leaving us to go on an adventure!

The corporate food system, led by supermarket chains and agribusiness, forces us to consume more low-quality ultra-processing food (UPF) and high-emission crops by reshaping our food culture and consumption habits.
Join the Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) movement to regain our food sovereignty and reestablish a community food system based on relationships.
What is CSA anyway? Please come along to our open meeting next Thursday, 24 October from 6-7.30pm at St Werburghs Community Farm to find out more and become a CSA member.

The Bristol Local Food Fund Just announced the second round of funding for 19 community food projects tackling food insecurity in Bristol. We are delighted to be one of them. We committed to providing land access and delivering horticultural sessions to people affected by the asylum process in order to share knowledge, reduce isolation, promote leadership and enhance environmental awareness.

Take a look at these interesting findings from a recent member survey results published by the CSA Network UK. The number of CSA farms has grown to over 230 in the UK. These CSAs produce fresh, agroecologically grown food for on average 66 households, that is the equivalent of feeding over 15,000 households. On average CSAs farm on just 3.19 hectares of land. The results paint a picture of the important impact of CSA in our community.

📸🍲 Today is World Refugee Day! 🌍❤️

Here at the Coexist Community Kitchen we believe in the power of food to bring people together. Our free cookery programmes help refugees and asylum seekers feel at home in Bristol. Enabling them to share their incredible stories, skills, knowledge and culture with us, and giving them a space to connect with new friends.

Our community is so much richer with them in it, and we will forever stand for everyone’s right to movement. To a home, to belonging and to dignity.

Love to all who come through our doors! You bring us so much joy - THANK YOU! 🥰

Before our management team re-discuss the idea of adding another pick-up point, we reposted this message to ask for your suggestions.
For many years, our vegetables have been delivered to seven pick-up points in Bristol (St Werburghs, Easton, Bishopston, Fishponds, Windmill Hill, Frenchay & St. George). Recently, we have thought of adding a new pick-up point to capture the residential and demographic changes. Please contact us if you have any suggestions or know of any neighbours who might be interested in joining us to taste locally grown fresh vegetables.
