Our menu is comprised of health giving whole foods -grains, beans and pulses -and our aim is to encourage everyone -even meat eaters- that a vegetarian meal can be both nutritious and delicious. All food is freshly prepared by a small band of volunteers who share our values. As a social, community enterprise we are a not-for profit venture. We seek out ingredients which are fairly traded. Our motto is......'Good for the planet, good for you!' https://BlueSkyEcoCafe.org.uk
we want to continue trying out new delicious recipes with unusual whole grains, nuts, lentils, beans etc to encourage people to eat less meat and still enjoy a nutritious and tasty meal. each month we aim to give nutritional information on a specific wholefood grain used in a recipe.

We are a small apiary in West Oxford, supplying natural raw honey and beeswax products to the community, directly and through local shops (bee miles, not food miles!). Our honey is raw and unheated, preserving its health benefits. As natural beekeepers, we focus on the bees' welfare and aim to contribute to a strong local gene pool. We promote natural beekeeping and raise public awareness of environmental campaigns through our website and blogs.
We aim to meet the demand for local, unadulterated honey. We will also further raise public awareness about the importance of honey bees and other pollinators for ecosystems and the food chain, and highlight the perils that bees face from pesticides, habitat loss, unhealthy commercial beekeeping practices, and climate change.

The Cutteslowe Community Larder is a weekly food event based in Cutteslowe for members of the charity SOFEA. The Cutteslowe Community Larder obtains food from SOFEA, who rescue (from suppliers / supermarkets) and re-distribute hundreds of tonnes of food surplus each year, supporting families in need while reducing food waste. The Cutteslowe Community larder is run by volunteers and is a partnership between SOFEA and Cutteslowe Connected Church and Cutteslowe Community Association. The vision for this larder is that it will initially be an event based around a food larder, but that increasingly more âwrap aroundâ services will be added in order to grow a sense of community and to support the local community. There is a long list of possible wrap around services, but initially we are in conversation with Citizenâs Advice, the local council, GP surgeries about âsocial prescribingâ and Cutteslowe Horticultural Therapies. The Cutteslowe Community Larder seeks to provide food to the community at low cost, in order to combat food poverty and to reduce food waste. This membership is open to anyone and is not means tested. Members pay a monthly fee via direct debit and will come to the larder weekly to select the food that they would like. A single membership is £3.50 per week for 10 items + fruit and veg and a family membership is £7 per week for 20 items + fruit and veg.

We provide free lunches for the over 60s community, using donations from Oxford Food Bank and fresh, extremely local produce from Oxford City Farm. Most of our meals are vegetarian, and we ensure that they are nutritious and tasty. We also use biodegradable packaging for our meals and puddings.
We will continue to grow our client numbers to ensure that as many people as possible are reached and can benefit from free, healthy meals made using produce from the Oxford Food Bank and Oxford City Farm. We also pledge to research the most environmentally friendly packaging options to ensure that they are easily recycled/ composted.
