ASMR! Crossing a ford over the river San Antonio near Jolon CA inside Fort Hunter Liggett. #asmr #powerwagon #ramtrucks #rivercrossing #riverford #forthunterliggett #californis #jolon
Every so often I get fed up with healthy food, and stop eating enough protein and veg.
Today I splashed out on a Riverford organic recipe. Not cheap but 2-3 meals of butternut squash with dukkah.
It is cooking now after my home help chopped, peeled and stirred.
The zero waste bag was a small watermelon, which I'll share, broccoli and uncooked beetroot.

Here's a nice graphic of 6 ways to escape supermarkets from the latest Ethical Consumer Magazine.

Step 1 is huge: A weekly delivery not only gives added convenience but it ensures you get local produce that is good for you, the people who produced it and the planet. 🌱👩‍🌾🌍

If you don't have a local company then I'd highly recommend giving #Riverford a go. They put ethical standards at the heart of their business and deliver quality produce. I've got a free £15 voucher if you want to give them a test. 👇

‘There’s an old adage that warns against “farming the last year” — that is, making decisions based on previous conditions rather than anticipating future challenges. How do we mentally shift from farming in the last century, and instead prepare to farm the next one?’

UK folks - in my #Riverford veg box today there was a flyer for an online petition to "Reform the Grocery Supply Code of Practice to better protect farmers" - seems like a great idea.

"We want the Government to amend the Grocery Supply Code of Practice (GSCP) to require retailers, without exception, to:

- Buy what they agreed to buy
- Pay what they agreed to pay
- Pay on time"

Petition: Reform the Grocery Supply Code of Practice to better protect farmers

We want the Government to amend the Grocery Supply Code of Practice (GSCP) to require retailers, without exception, to: - Buy what they agreed to buy - Pay what they agreed to pay - Pay on time We believe the current GSCP is inadequate and doesn't protect farmers from unfair behaviour.

Petitions - UK Government and Parliament

If you are in the UK, please give this a look and sign if so inclined.
