Food is Free Fellows Road



Welcome to Food is Free Fellows Road - a micro-project run from my own garden in Cowes, Isle of Wight. FFFR is a way for me to share surplus plants and produce with my local community. In time, I hope it might become a platform that others may use to share what they have grown too. No payment will be required for any of this produce, hence the name 'Food is Free'  I will write about the philosophy behind the project in the next post, but for now, please watch the film to learn about the amazing initiative that inspired me: the Food is Free Laneway, Balleratt (link here https://youtu.be/ixxIRB2NP5c). As soon as I saw it, it really hit home that this is something that anyone with a garden, and an interest in their community and the environment, could do. So here I am, at the very beginning.

This will also be a place where I share some of my thoughts on wider subjects too. I hope you'll allow me this self-indulgence.

I feel really excited about what's to come, so please watch this space to follow the story of FFFR over its very first season.

I'm not even sure that this feeling comes hand in hand with the desire to share the writing with others. This can be a daunting prospect. After all, there are literally countless words available to us at the swipe of a finger or click of a mouse. We might ask: 'How on Earth could what I have to say compete in the midst of this word-saturated world?' This question is irrelevant in my opinion. If we happen to feel brave enough to place our words on a public platform, and others happen to read it -perhaps even respond to it- then great. However, this does not have to be the goal of writing. The goal of writing can begin and end with the simple act of someone wishing to capture
