We are a small apiary in West Oxford, supplying natural raw honey and beeswax products to the community, directly and through local shops (bee miles, not food miles!). Our honey is raw and unheated, preserving its health benefits. As natural beekeepers, we focus on the bees' welfare and aim to contribute to a strong local gene pool. We promote natural beekeeping and raise public awareness of environmental campaigns through our website and blogs.
We aim to meet the demand for local, unadulterated honey. We will also further raise public awareness about the importance of honey bees and other pollinators for ecosystems and the food chain, and highlight the perils that bees face from pesticides, habitat loss, unhealthy commercial beekeeping practices, and climate change.

The Cutteslowe Community Larder obtains food from SOFEA, who rescue (from suppliers / supermarkets) and re-distribute hundreds of tonnes of food surplus each year, supporting families in need while reducing food waste. The Cutteslowe Community larder is run by volunteers and is a partnership between SOFEA and Cutteslowe Connected Church and Cutteslowe Community Association. The vision for this larder is that it will initially be an event based around a food larder, but that increasingly more âwrap aroundâ services will be added in order to grow a sense of community and to support the local community. There is a long list of possible wrap around services, but initially we are in conversation with Citizenâs Advice, the local council, GP surgeries about âsocial prescribingâ and Cutteslowe Horticultural Therapies. The Cutteslowe Community Larder seeks to provide food to the community at low cost, in order to combat food poverty and to reduce food waste. This membership is open to anyone and is not means tested. Members pay a monthly fee via direct debit and will come to the larder weekly to select the food that they would like. A single membership is £3.50 per week for 10 items + fruit and veg and a family membership is £7 per week for 20 items + fruit and veg.

We are a new community-led project which seeks to create an opportunity for people to connect with nature and each other in the Cutteslowe area. We are working to secure a lease on the greenhouses located in the centre of Cutteslowe Park, as a base for our future activities. In the meantime, we put on regular events in the area, with the aim of strengthening existing community connections and learning nature-related skills from each other. Events include food surplus cafe-style community lunches, guided nature-spotting and foraging walks, and community orchard work parties. We are interested in all nature-related skills, but food makes up a substantial part of our activities, and sustainable growing and cooking will be a big part of our future activities. Our goal is to strengthen community resilience in the area, through more community connections, skills, and resources to grow, process and share organic, sustainable, culturally appropriate and healthy food.
To help people in the community share their skills around cooking with food that might otherwise go to waste. To help people improve their confidence and skills when it comes to growing and processing their own fruit and veg.
