Mpowa, in conjunction with our partners Green+ International is planning to establish an EcoFarm demonstration and training academy here in Bishopstone. We will run monthly seminars on regenerative agriculture techniques and processes, in exchange for labour on the farm, once established. Our mission is capacity building especially amongst the youth, university graduates, to inspire a new generation of leaders in sustainable agriculture.
Our pledge for 2023 is to establish the project and host the initial education seminars. Target is to reach minimum 60 local youth with free sustainability/EcoFarming classes and recruit volunteers to help with the project. Producing first vegetable crops will be 2024.

We are an online retailer delivering locally grown, organic veg boxes from Sandy Lane Farm and a range of other locally produced food. We actively seek to reduce food miles and our impact on the environment to an absolute minimum. We encourage customers to lovingly embrace wonky veg and champion eating fresh, local and seasonal produce.
This Summer we bought our first 100% electric delivery vehicle - while it won't be easy to replace our fossil-fuelled vans like for like, we are determined to find an affordable way to phase them out as soon as possible.

Whilst building work is underway at The Branch we are currently located at The Parish Rooms, Church Street, OX7 5NT (marked on the map) We run a drop in on Monday mornings 11-12.30 which helps people to access food support - this might be supplying a voucher to access the food bank, signposting to other services, or giving families / individuals a budgeting pack, with recipe ideas / shopping list etc and a food voucher. We also run CONNECT CAFE on a Tuesday afternoon 1-2.30pm (during term time), which is an opportunity to join us for coffee & cake - perhaps you might like to join the craft table, have a game of chess or just a chat. There is also a HELP DESK at this cafe where we can help with accessing other services, food support and signposting.
