THE INCREDIBLE EDIBLE TODMORDEN TEAM
Where do you start with this lot?
The Incredible Edible Todmorden crew set of to transform their town with a bit of Guerilla gardening, some tools and a lot of experience and passion.
Little did they know that their actions would be held up across the world as a model of future sustainability
and a way of bringing back people’s interaction with the food they eat.
In their own (modest) words:
“‘From our beginnings with herb gardens, we’ve taken to planting and growing veggies and trees round town, we’ve planted two orchards and there are more to come, and we’re working with public bodies round town to use their land – like the fire station and the railway station – or to work with them on their own Incredible ideas – like social landlord Pennine Housing.
Every school in the town is now involved in growing with us.
We’re reaching back into local memories and knowledge with our History project. And we’re daring to imagine different futures with Dream Streets.
Our campaigns aim to make different futures happen. Our big local campaign at the moment is Every Egg Matters. And we’re also spreading the word locally, regionally and nationally.”

(Totally Locally would also like to acknowledge that it’s from these lovely people where we were “inspired” for our name).
