Landshare brings together people who have a passion for home-grown food, connecting those who have land to share with those who need land for cultivating food. Since its launch through River Cottage in 2009 it has grown into a thriving community of more than 55,000 growers, sharers and helpers.

Once upon a time when only rich men could afford an oven and the space to house it, the poor shared an oven between the villagers. It would be lit once aweek and every household would take their bread to be baked in it, much like as still happens in poor countries today. The bread would be followed by casseroles or joints of meat and as the oven heat declined, cakes would follow and finally, in the gentle slow lowering of temperature, meringues and cheesecake would gently bake.
This worked well with economical use of fuel resources.
Notes from food Group Meeting 6th May
The food group meeting involved a walk round Castle Park and discussion about how the facilities could be further enhanced and improved.
