urban farmer tf foundation
Last night, we were proud to support the launch of the Urban Farm Project - a fantastic partnership we're excited to grow together!
This incredible space will play a vital role in our Feeding Communities initiatives, our work with City Harvest and our London homeless feeding efforts.
For the evening, we created delicious canapés using only ingredients that were donated or grown on the urban farm. Highlights included:
Cheddar cheese with Forty Hall Enfield ploughman’s chutney, sweet apple & Urban Farm micro chives
Lee Valley honey figs with goat’s cheese, Square Mile Farm thyme oil & Urban Farm micro Rambo radish
Butternut squash arancini with Square Mile baby leaf & kale-pesto from Urban Farm produce
Broccoli & Forty Hall Enfield caramelised onion tarts topped with Urban Farm micro broccoli
Grilled zucchini with Urban Farm basil, sundried tomatoes & olive tapenade
We can’t wait to see how this partnership flourishes and helps us create a meaningful impact.

DINING IN THE DEPOT
Last night, it was an absolute honour to support City Harvest's Dining in Depot with an incredible three-course meal!
We've cherished our partnership with City Harvest since it began during the pandemic and it's amazing to continue working together for such a meaningful cause.
Our talented chef team, led by our Culinary Director & Head of Culinary Events, created a stunning menu starting with canapés, heritage tomatoes, gazpacho, cucumber & mozzarella. For mains, we served Oxford lamb ragu or roasted hazelnut gnocchi & squash and to finish, a cashew butter pear belle helene tart. A special thank you to Layla Bakery for donating their delicious sourdough bread to complement the starter.
What made the evening truly special was that every ingredient used came from City Harvest's depot!

Feed London - Reading Blue Coat
We're proud to support the Miracles initiative again to support families facing multiple challenges in some of London's most deprived areas. Our nutritionist, Matt, created five nutritious plant-based main course recipes and one delicious dessert, designed to encourage family involvement with minimal energy use and utensils.
With the amazing leadership of Steve Beaumont and a dedicated team of volunteers at Reading Blue Coat School, we assembled 267 recipe boxes for families in need. These boxes include 32 locally sourced ingredients, thanks to the generous support of Garry Dudman and Dudmans.
Together, we're making a positive impact by providing families with the resources and inspiration to cook healthy meals. Thank you to everyone involved in this incredible effort!

NWC Draft
Are you curious to see what a lunchtime service looks like in one of our schools?
We visited Northwood College for Girls to find out how they create multiple delicious options as well as a full range of salads, not to mention a grab-and-go section, fresh and daily. With pupils and staff both loving the offerings, it's clear the team at Northwood College are consistently providing delicious meals every day.
