At the end of May, a community cob oven will be constructed by volunteers from the Federation of City Farms and Community Gardens who have kindly agreed to support the construction of the oven itself as a training project.

Many thanks to everyone involved in our  Grand Winter Raffle – the first time we’ve attempted such a thing!
