Invitation and generosity: locally-grown vegetables and fruit welcome for the Tooting Foodival!

Just like ‘which came first, the hen or the egg?’ to create the fresh local Big Feast on Saturday 15th and for dishes created by Top Tooting Cook competitors we’ll need great fresh local ingredients.

We invite everyone to donate what you have grown locally!
In the Tooting Community Garden we’re growing for the Foodival, other local gardens are growing to donate their produce, and many individuals always bring in their proudly-grown crops to share with us all – maybe simply a tomato or two grown on a balcony by a brand-new city gardener. It’s about the gesture and the sharing more than about volume (though we did feed 500 people last year!)

There’s such a diversity of fresh produce donated. So beautiful, so tasty, so surprising.

It’s all about generosity and gifting so that everyone can enjoy celebrating local growing, cooking and eating on Saturday 15th Sept at the Foodival!

Here are some of the local people who donated in 2017. Also surprising – and involved and having fun.

All welcome to join in and donate anything you have grown locally!
You can donate at Mushkil Aasaan, 220-222 Upper Tooting Road, SW17 7EW on:
> Friday evening 14th Sept from 6:00 to 8:00pm
> Saturday 15th between 10:00 and 11:00 am, when the Foodival kicks off!
