As consumers, we directly affect the Environment through the purchasing decisions - and in particular the food choices - that we make every day. How fair and how sustainable are these choices? We need to “consume with a social conscience”. 

Environmental sustainability of the community is greatly enhanced by being able to grow in-season foods locally, in gardens, allotments, and farms.

The Faringdon Allotments Society is holding an ECOVEG Open Day on the 14th June. Come and see how it’s done - how it benefits your health and the environment!

There are more than a dozen organic ECOFARMS within just two miles of Faringdon that have either soil-association certification, or farm using organic methods.

 Many will be organising activities during ECOWEEK, and some are also on the ECOBIKES route.

A special Summer Solstice Breakfast at Step Farm will be Fairtrade Coffee and Bacon ECOBUTTIES. Be there at 9.30am if you don’t want to miss out!

VENN MILL - a two hunderd year old working water-powered flour mill, will be holding an Open Day on Sunday 15th. Not to be missed!
