Fitzbillies is a true Cambridge institution. Generations of Cambridge folk have frequented the famous shop on Trumpington Street since it was founded in 1920. Current owners, Alison Wright and Tim Hayward rescued the bakery when its then owners went bankrupt in 2011. They also came to the rescue when long-standing Cambridge Organic supplier, Cobs Bakery was set to close in 2018. Fitzbillies use many of the same organic and local flours which Cobs used but no longer retain their organic certification.

The really special thing about Hodmedods pulses and grains is that they are all grown in Britain, and quite often in the East Anglian region. These are all foods which were once a mainstay of the British diet, but have been marginalised by the commercial food industry. What they represent is a far more sustainable way of getting our protein: getting your potein from imported pulses, processed foods or meat is much less efficient.

We know that ‘system change’ is desperately needed, but what does ‘system change’ look like? And who is going to make it happen?
The ‘Local Food Ecosystem’ is a new concept in food supply chain coordination which conforms to a new and more forward-thinking economic model. It is founded upon principles such as balance, wholeness, circularity, diversity and interconnectivity, resulting in a food system which is less wasteful, more equitable, much kinder to our planet, much better for citizens in terms of the quality and healthiness of the food we get to eat, which nurtures food entrepreneurism to create vibrant local food economies, and which is, in every sense of the word, sustainable.
Featuring images and testimonies from Cambridge's food community.

The Priors Flour is milled at Fosters windmill in Swaffham Prior. Most of the grain comes from local farms and in particular the wholemeal and white flours are milled from wheat grown at Home Farm on the Wimpole Estate. Mills run by wind power are, of course, very good from a sustainability perspective.
Prospects Trust are one of our long-standing suppliers of organic produce. They are a charity farm, providing education and training to adults with learning disabilities. They've set up a commercial kitchen, where the co-workers can make jams from the fruit they grow on the farm. They also produced seasonal gifts such as decorations.

Premium Organic Supplements.
Royal Green summarise their ethos as:
If it is up to us, the era of isolated supplements (synthetic vitamins & minerals or standardized herbs) belongs to the past. We are convinced that plant based or certified organic supplements are better sources, have a wider range of activity and are better absorbed by the body. We are inspired by the power of Mother Nature and are pleased to offer everyone that supports this, a choice in supplements that is in harmony with their beliefs.
