Growing Communities is a community-led organisation based in Hackney, North London, which is providing a real, practical alternative to the current damaging food system - changing what we eat, how we eat and how it's farmed.

“Over the past 20 years or so, we have worked to harness the collective buying power and skills of our community to reshape the food and farming systems that feed us. Our organic fruit and vegetable bag scheme and the Growing Communities Farmers' Market aim to provide more secure and fairer markets for the farmers, growers and producers who we believe should be the foundation of a sustainable agriculture system”.

Go check out the market every Saturday, 10 am-2:30 pm @ St Paul’s Church, Stoke Newington, N16 7UY. Growing Communities are the only UK farmers’ market where all the farmers at the market are either organic or biodynamic, so not only do you get delicious food but you're also supporting small, sustainable farms almost all from within 60 miles of London.

Feeding urban communities in a fair, sustainable way in the face of corporate dominance and climate change, need we say more?
