Hi everyone,
Field Power are making carbon-neutral deliveries of our organic, grass-fed, native breeds beef and lamb boxes, which are also carbon neutral - one of the first farm to convert - all our water, water heating, space heating, electricity and fuel utilises renewable sources. You can read about the details here: http://www.bigbarn.co.uk/ or place an order here: http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Cottage-Farm-Shop. We deliver just once per month, every last Wednesday and quite a few people find it convenient to share a box. And btw, our prices are lower than supermarkets' prices for chemical meat.

Recently I have presented our journey from non-farmers to one of the first organic carbon-neutral beef & lamb farms at The Royal Agricultural College and also at the last Transition Movement's International conference. I would be very happy to combine our next delivery on 25th August (or later deliveries) with a talk/ presentation at a suitable event. Just let me know.
Good luck
Paul

Hi FuFers!

TT Wandsworth is in the process of creating a new community garden down by the riverside in Wandsworth. It will be the first of its kind in the borough and could spawn lots of initiatives it goes well.

However, to get it up and running, we need to as many people as possible to volunteer to help! If you'd like help us get it all going, please do join the project Dirt page for the garden -http://www.projectdirt.com/group/watersidewalkcommunitygarden.

We need as many people as possible involved!

Thanks

Denny
