Organiclea is a small food growing cooperative in the Lea Valley on London’s edge.
They have a community allotment site where a group of volunteers grow a wide range of organic vegetables, fruit and herbs.
They grow salad and seedlings in a glasshouse plant nursery, which provides regular volunteering opportunities and open days where people can come to learn what they are doing and join in the work.
They also provide training in organic food growing.
In partnership with the Hornbeam Centre, Organiclea is developing a ‘local food centre’ – a place where local people can get quality local organic produce, find out about food nutrition and food growing, and get involved in cooking and processing enterprises.
