Winter Immunity
Whilst we need a strong immune system all year round - the short days of winter with low sunlight, cold weather and now the additional stress of the cost of living makes it especially important to support our immune systems
Apple Cider Vinegar
Raw apple cider vinegar contains probiotics and a number of nutrients that can help support digestion, weight loss, diabetes and heart health.
Sprouting
Even if you don't have an inch of outdoor space, you can still grow your own nutritious, living food right in your home
Pulses
Pulses are dried beans and peas and have been an essential part of the human diet for centuries.
Nuts
Nuts are packed full of beneficial fats, proteins, minerals, vitamins, and phytonutrients
Seven Tastes of Autumn
Make the most of bountiful Autumn
Winter
As the landscape changes from trees of fiery reds, bronze and gold to dark silhouettes against an ice blue sky – we leave the last days of autumn behind, winter arrives and nature rests.
Learning to Love Weeds
" not only plants in the wrong place, but plants which have slipped into the wrong culture"

Hands on my Bread
Bread is on the rise. In one sense this is always true, but it hardly applies to industrial loaves, sales of which – in the UK at least – have been in steady decline since
World War 2.
Allergies
There are many kinds of allergy, from food allergies like peanuts, soya or shellfish to perennial allergies like dust, mold or feathers. However, as we head through spring into the summer, it’s the seasonal allergies from tree, grass and weed pollen also known as hay fever or allergic rhinitis that are upon us.
Comfrey
Comfrey has been cultivated as a healing herb since at
least 400BC.
It is one of the best herbs for reducing swellings and if applied to the area around broken bones will soothe and reduce the inflammation and help mend the bones
hence the nicknames
‘boneset’ & ‘knitbone’
Vitamin D
The best source of vitamin D is the sun. Subcutaneous glands in the skin use sunlight to form pre-vitamin D which is converted to Vitamin D by the liver and kidneys.
Stevia
Whilst there are over 200 species of stevia, Stevia rebaudiana is the most important variety, it is a herbal plant that belongs to the Asteraceae family. The Guarani Indians of Paraguay have used stevia for centuries for both its sweet taste and medicinal properties
Buckwheat - good for the soil, wildlife & you!
Buckwheat is not a cereal grain as it is not part of the grass family it belongs instead to the Polygonaceae family & is a relative of rhubarb & sorrel.

FOOD SOVEREIGNTY
Today, we are witnessing a growing and urgent debate over the future of food and farming.
There is real momentum behind the desire to transform the food system, to recognise its environmental and social costs and transform it into a system that is just, healthy and resilient.
This booklet provides an overview of the core principles of food sovereignty and how this approach offers a viable option to address the challenges of environmental breakdown, social injustice and climate change.

ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE
Antibiotics are one of medicine’s real success stories. Since their appearance nearly 100 years ago their ability to quickly kill or stop the growth of harmful bacteria has undoubtedly saved many people from chronic disease and even death.
In recent decades, however, antibiotic use has become a problem.
It’s estimated that up to half of all the antibiotics prescribed are unnecessary or are not prescribed appropriately.
