Growing Communities' director Julie Brown gave this moving and inspiring report at our AGM in December. Many people who were there on the night asked for a copy of her speech, so we thought we'd share it more widely. While a lot about the current food system makes grim reading, there are hugely positive stories coming from the small-scale organic farmers we work with. Buying food through GC means supporting a fairer, kinder, more sustainable way of life for everyone in the food supply chain - as well as having access to fantastic fresh food every week.
