We’ve had a busy year this year, distributing over 6000 bags of tasty, fresh produce and recipes to our schools.
Vegetables have included: butternut squash; summer/spring/red/white and savoy cabbage; sweet potato; cauliflower; parsnip; sprouts; leek; swede; celery along with the regular carrots and onions.
Recipes have included soups, curries and traybakes with easy ingredients and being easy to make.
We’ve taken extra produce on a number of occasions, topping up our regular produce with pies, extra veg and one week, even a Sunday roast!
In the Spring, we distributed some vegetable seeds, compost and pots to our schools to encourage children to ‘grow their own’. With research showing that children are five times more likely to eat salad when they have grown it themselves, we want to support our schools in making Springtime, growing time.
We finished this academic year saying ‘goodbye’ to one of our schools in Stoke having reached the end of our three-year term. It felt sad to be moving on, but exciting to be able to take this wonderful project to another school in September.

2021 continued to be a challenging time for many. With Covid-19 still prevalent and causing an impact on people’s health and financial security, we have found our support being more important than ever.

During this year, we have increased our provision to help support community centres, a soup kitchen, and a food bank as well as providing an extra 4960 bags.

Since we launched Farm Fresh, we have delivered over 34,100 bags to date, which means we’ve provided over 400,000 healthy and nutritious individual meals freshly cooked by families on our scheme.

We’ve helped feed an average of 200 families a week and 76% of our families have said they’ve changed their shopping habits since receiving Farm Fresh Revolution bags.

We are grateful to all our supporters, suppliers and volunteers as we couldn’t do it without you, here’s to continuing our project and making a difference to every family that needs it.

Here’s an update of what we have achieved to August 2021:
