We believe in the nourishing and connecting power of communal eating. We eagerly invite all who seek to experience the magic of collective practice and cooperative living to join us.
We are committed to making organic, locally produced, and nutritious vegan food sustainable and accessible for all. We want to grow and eat good food, together and often, with ample gluten-free and nut-free options. We also offer our space and our energies for co-creating workshops, community fundraisers, live performances, collective childcare, and other activities that help build a connected and resilient community. When deciding who and how we host, we continuously experiment with and improve our orientation towards honouring our community's needs for safety, dignity, and belonging.
Our Values
We seek to awaken ourselves and our communities to the historical and current realities of how we grow, distribute, cook, eat, and recycle food, and we are committed to exploring future possibilities that challenge these realities. We believe in the critical role of food sovereignty for liberation, and aim to provide ample, accessible opportunities to feed each other often and well.
We prioritise goods, services, activities, and organisational practices that celebrate, embrace, and honour our local Walthamstow community, giving extra care and attention to migrants, refugees, and those who are part of a Global Village. Whenever possible, we choose suppliers, partners, and collaborators based locally and in the UK who share our commitment to serving and invigorating local social bonds and connections.
We value and dignify people, the Earth, and social purpose when we choose how to distribute and use our time and resources. We are committed to collectively learning and practicing mutual aid, participatory governance, interdependence, accountability through transparency, and economic solidarity in our conduct as an organisation.
