It’s the Valentine’s Day issue so lots of ideas to show love to others, you and your pocket!

Firefly Holidays Terrasses d'Eos

Love your farmer

Show your local farmer how much you love them this Valentine’s Day and sign up for Veg Box People's weekly box scheme. By signing up you can offer local growers some security at spring planting time and give your own health a bit of a loving boost too!  Once you have signed up (from £8 pw) you can collect your veg box on campus each week. They will be on-site on Valentine’s Day and every Tuesday outside our veggie Greenhouse Café with their pop up stall. Everyone is also welcome to buy Trove Bakery artisan bread and Red House Farm organic eggs from their stall each week too!
