Local Food Hub

Use the poll below to let us know what other local food you would like to see available when you come to collect your Diss Community Farm vegetables.  Vote for food items that you would want to purchase regularly, this will help us to know which local producers/suppliers/retailers we should invite to supply DCF with additional produce.

We intend to start small and build up gradually so we will begin by trying to make the most popular items available to you first.  If you select other then please leave a comment at the bottom of this post with your suggestion.  Thank you for your input.

A Distribution Venue?

The DCF needs somewhere from which to distribute the farm and food hub produce from early June onwards. Distribution day, when members come to collect their produce, will likely be a Wednesday or a Thursday and will involve four to five hours. For this year’s pilot project we are hoping to find a place that is both central to Diss and free.

Do any members have a space they could offer? An empty garage or a covered area with easy access? We would also like suggestions from members of possible commercial venues who would welcome involvement with the food community, and who might even profit from it–a coffee shop, for example. We have a few ideas, but would like more, so please email yours to Penelope at pnlister@gmail.com.

Farm Work Day – Sat 16th April

Come and join us for the 2nd Farm Work Day, there’s lots to do.  The forecast is currently suggesting it will be dry for most of the day.  You can bring your lunch or eat in the pub near the field.

We will be preparing a base for the shed that has been donated to us, fencing in a section for salad, clearing wheat that has regrown, sowing seeds for salad.  Possibly cutting lengths of pipe for supporting netting and fleece if we can get the pipe on site for Saturday.  Tools you might need: spade, fork, trowel, rake, hoe, gloves, loppers, wire cutters, hacksaw.

We’ll start at 10am and go home when we’ve had enough, come and join us for all or some of the day.
