RT @SaveCDAllotment: @CropDropBanes

A rainbow harvest festival from Bloomfield allotments donated to @Oasis_Bath Roundhill Pantry this week. Since the growing weather improved at the end of July, Bloomfield have generously donated abundant produce every week. Thank you!

Thank you so much @RootsAllotments holders for this week's super stash of donations (and for all donations since June!):. Cucumbers, beetroots, cool purple caulis the bountiful enthusiastically grown courgettes!. These went to @Weston_hub chefs and @MercyinActionUK pantry.

The surplus ended up here on 29th and 30th Dec. Happy New Year!

There was an abundance of surplus vegetables between Christmas and New Year, which we couldn't resist distributing to Community Larders in the Somer Valley: Clutton, Paulton and Timsbury received their share of over 350kg or 4 trolley loads of veg!

@Newtonfarmfoods @MercyinActionUK With a giant thank you to George Clutten from Radstock Town Council, Fi Cantillon from MSN Food Co-op & @FarringtonsFarm, CropDrop were able to store 100 surplus "Crown Prince" pumpkins from the glean at the farm. Fiona delivered 65 to projects including @ThreeWaysSchool. 🧵 2/n

This week there was a second bite of the pumpkins!. On Monday Fiona delivered 35 stored pumpkins from @Newtonfarmfoods to @MercyInActionUK Pantry . Thread 🧵 1/n

Just collected a donation of sweet baby carrots, early parsnips and a couple of celeriac from the @RootsAllotments donation cupboard. 🥬 🥕 . This is the latest collection CropDrop have ever had from an allotment, overtaking the previous late donation champions at Combe Down! 🙌

Another CropDrop satisfied customer! Pauline BEMSCA at @FairfieldHouse_ was delighted with her second delivery of surplus green squash, kindly donated by @NewtonFarmFoods #PumpkinPatch

A generous (and remarkable for November!) bounty of donated vegetables from @RootsAllotments Tuckers Meadow customers that was transported to @MercyInActionUK Action Pantry. Included were parsnips, squash, celeriac and celery! 🥬 🍂

@Newtonfarmfoods Despite the uber-muddy field we gathered a huge haul - with plenty of goodness for all the affordable food projects in and around Bath & Keynsham (and the Sidmouth @DonkeySanctuary)! 🎃 🧵 (2/n)

Thank you Michelle, Paul, Jane, Emma and Norman, Colette, Mark, Joe, James, Colin, Carol, Jenny and Sandy for your plentiful pumpkin gleaning on Monday and Tuesday @Newtonfarmfoods Pumpkin Patch! 🙌 🧵 (1/n)

A never ending bounty from @RootsAllotments customers, collected by @MercyInActionUK Action Pantry on Monday morning! 🙌 Included were squash, cauliflower, beetroot, swiss chard, tenderstem broccoli and swede.

Important info to protect hedgehogs! 👇🦔. Please check the food recycling policy of your local council - B&NES do not accept pumpkins as food waste.

Here's the fantastic haul donated from @RootsAllotments Tuckers Meadow allotmenteers collected by @MercyInActionUK Action Pantry on the 16th October! 🙌 🥬

Looking forward to collecting the surplus nutritious pumpkins and squash from @Newtonfarmfoods Pumpkin Patch after Hallowe'en. We had so much fun last year - and so many affordable food projects benefited!
