Those lovely folk at China Blue in Totnes are having a party tonight and you’re invited! Choir, free mulled wine and a collection to support our work. See you there🎄🤶 www.facebook.com/share/17hfE8...

Thanks to a generous farmer, we have plenty of squash to share 🧡 These beauties can last for months. Pick one up on Saturday and it could be a pot of delicious, heart-warming soup in JANUARY. Beat winter bills, enjoy home-cooked food when you need it most! 🧡 #letsbringittothetable #Totnes #Devon

Millions of squash/ pumpkins are thrown away, whilst food banks, overwhelmed by the seasonal focus, lack capacity to accept them. This is a missed opportunity for food security: they can last for 3-6 months. ⬇️

We love serving you a delicious plate of food, but our mission doesn't stop when the cafe closes. Day in, day out, our team is out in the community. Check out these pics ⬇️ #letsbringittothetable #fieldtofork

Here’s the recipe for the popular "Pay What You Can" Soup we served at Daynes Farm's Pumpkin Weekend. Don't waste time peeling! Roasting halved pumpkin or squash saves time and brings out a beautiful, caramelized flavour. Ingredients: · 1 small pumpkin or squash (approx. 1.2Kg) · 1 tbsp oil ⬇️
