Making Local Food Work: OrganicLea

Organiclea [http://www.organiclea.org.uk] is a workers' co-operative which grows and sells food and supports others to do the same. The group started on a small allotment and now has a 12-acre growing site, a community café, a market stall and a vegetable box scheme. It also runs training courses in food growing and cooking. The film looks at all the various aspects of Organiclea's work and aims to encourage others to get involved or do the same. As Ru Litherland, a grower at OrganicLea says in the film "Our role now is to support other people, because we're going to need a lot more places like this."
