What a beautiful town we live in! ✨🌱
Every week we are delighted by the thoughtful generosity of our neighbours. We all accumulate more than we need at times and what could be more rewarding than sharing with others?

Thank you for all of your donations large and small. We are proud and so happy to witness first hand, the power of this food sharing, waste prevention project in action. ✊💚😊

Ooh, what's in the bags, lads? 🥪 🌱🌯🥛

Our Tim and Darren have been all over town today, in 36 degrees 😎, collecting from two branches of the same popular high street eatery! 
One had surplus due to closing early, ready for refurbishment. The other, due to an unexpected delivery that they didn't have space for. 
Huge thank you to lovely local Laura for contacting us! 💚

Come & collect some toasties, wraps & buns! 
Meat, Fish, Vegetarian and Vegan options available!
Plus milk too! 

We also have lots of family packs of KFC for you! 
See you tomorrow, Saturday the 15th of August.

We've had some beautiful plants & flowers at FCF recently, including orchids, alliums, bedding plants, peonies & more!
🌸🌻💚

Huge thanks to dream team volunteer duo Becky & Mark, who have collected a large number of these floral delights! 💪🙌

The most sustainable plants & flowers are those grown locally, without heavy use of pesticides and other chemicals. 

Many of the supermarket options have flown many miles under refrigeration, then wrapped in plastic. However, we think it's best to rescue this surplus and enjoy them, instead of sending them straight to landfill.

Come & see what we have, to brighten-up yours or a good friend's day, whilst preventing floral waste!

💚 Ham & Cheese toastie or mozzarella & tomato panini? 🍅

After an over order at a popular high Street eatery, Laura couldn't bear to see these moorish goods go to waste! So she contacted us to share them with her community instead. Thank you Laura! ⭐🙌

Come & choose your favourite tomorrow. Friday the 19th of June. We'll have some on Saturday too!

Why not also pick-up some freshly gleaned local produce, courtesy of Chris Turnbull & a tasty sweet treat .

See you soon! 🌱

Every item of food has a unique journey after leaving our little 'shop'. We love to see the inspiring, creative meals you make. 
Thank you for sharing your photos with us :) 🌱

1. Nat created a beautiful spread for her guests. The refreshing salad contained spring onions from our fridge, chicken thighs from our freezer and red peppers for the sauce from our counters. 🍅

2. The humble cabbage was collected by Amy, and braised for 20 mins. She then opened a bag of microwave rice and added readymade sauces with peanuts and sesame seeds. Perfect! 🥬

3. Joel collected globe artichokes from us. He was generous enough to share his step by step guide for steamed artichokes with French vinaigrette. Please check out our stories for the recipe. Why not screenshot & keep for next time? 🌸

4. Danielle made a colourful, wholesome rice dish. Enough for a family of five, featuring peppers and broccoli from FCF. 👫🤼‍♂️

5. We've had plenty of citrus fruit in recent weeks at FCF.  Claire picked up some lemons and created a tangy marmalade! 🍋

6. Ryan picked up frozen garlic flatbread. He used tomatoes from our counters and added his own additional toppings from home. 🍕

7. Several months ago Ryan's neighbour (name unknown) enjoyed an avocado. Wasting nothing, she decided to nurture the seed and has produced this impressive avocado plant! 🌱
