Rose Hill Community Larder aims to make good food affordable, strengthen the community and reduce food waste. SOFEA supply the Larder with surplus groceries, fruit and vegetables. It runs on a membership basis and is staffed by volunteers from Magdalen College School. Members chat and share neighbourhood information, enjoy refreshments and guest agencies provide advice on topics such as healthy cooking, gardening, finance and computer literacy.
The volunteers pledge to create an attractive mural garden for members of Rose Hill Community Larder and Social Club. The outdoor area has plain concrete walls and is an uninviting. We hope that by reviving this community space, we will encourage current users of these facilities to come together for longer, sustain these connections, to engage with our guest agencies providing community information and support, and for more new members to join our community larder.

We are the antidote to foodmiles; hyper local salad and veg grown following organic principles for great taste and zero waste.
To not just grow hyper local veg but also to inspire people of all ages and backgrounds to understand where their food comes from and the importance of the Soil Food Web. We'd like to work with school groups and also set up work experience and mentoring leading to potential apprenticeships for young adults wanting to know more about growing local vegetables and setting up their own CSA's in their own communities.

Land and Livestock Management for Life (aka 3LM) is the Savory Institute Networks Hub for the UK. Based on the work of Ecologist Allan Savory (see: https://www.ted.com/talks/allan_savory_how_to_green_the_world_s_deserts_and_reverse_climate_change?language=en) we bring the potential to change food production to significantly enhance the environment (sequestering lots of CO2 naturally), regenerate soils, food quality, whilst bringing a new sovereignty to farmers and producers and being the cornerstone of a Regenerative Economy. 3LM was developed from my lessons in local food production, the 12 years of study into holistic health and the insights developed from discussions with the many local people interested in the quality of food (organic) we were producing at the time., having applied to the Savory Institute in 2014. Vitality Farm is our 95 acre mainly grassland farm near Wallingford.
From 2016 we look to add the the diversity on our farm, presently traditional cattle, by partnering with people who want to produce local food, but like so many locally have no land to do so. Working on the principals of Joel Salatin of Polyface Farm in Virginia, we are seeking to 'multi layer' the activities on the farm, to further our soil regeneration and fertility whilst producing more local primary products, job and more social inclusion.
