Operation Farm toolkits
This week we launched a suite of toolkits aimed at supporting community food organisations of all kinds to engage in projects and activities. The toolkits cover:
- Food growing
- Community kitchens
- Community apple pressing
They are aimed at a range of groups, from those just starting out to more advanced organisations and include checklists, starter guides, case studies and handy tips and advice. Authored by community cooking facilitator Ali Shockledge and community grower Anna Seward, they are a distillation of over 15 years of on the ground project delivery and experience.
Food is a common resource we all value and need and we really hope that with these guides we can inspire other organisations to use food as a channel to engage with all kinds of different people in their community.
Download the guides here:
The guides are free to download and share, please credit us if you reference information and let us know how you’ve used them via email or social media.
Huge thanks to the National Lottery Community Fund who supported this work.
