RE: Planting a New Normal: What If Our Streets Were Lined with Community Gardens and Fruit Trees?
I love this project. Many years ago I was an environmental and community activitist in a big city in the UK and this would have been such a great project there. Are there are any Food Is Free projects in the UK yet?
Some time ago I moved to a homestead in rural west Wales so we don't have a front yard. But I am trying to produce a surplus of food to give to neighbours and friends just to connect.
May the FoodIsFree project live long and prosper 😊
Thank you for your message! There are definitely some Food is Free Projects in the UK but you should totally start one in your community! It looks a bit different in each area but it's all about growing and sharing food with others, spreading the abundance and inspiration.
I'd love to stay in touch if I can offer any advice or brainstorm ideas along the way. Happy homesteading! Just followed ya. Onward and upward!
Is there a website that gives details of the UK Food Is Free projects?
I don't actually live near a town and my nearest neighbour is a mile away ! So it would need a different angle to do something similar here. Ideas welcome.
Since the project is open-source it's hard to keep track of all of their locations since some have a social media presence and others are mostly offline. I really want to get the projects onto Steemit so we can be in closer communication. I know there is a Food is Free Bristol and definitely a few others. Even in rural areas, just starting to grow a little extra and sharing it at community events, church or any kind of gathering could inspire many. Just start imagining of ways to be growing and sharing a little extra and start small. Things can evolve over time. :)
