Fresh, locally grown produce
Support your local Growing Hub by buying their fresh locally grown fruit and vegetables. Several Growing Hubs sell their produce to help fund their ongoing running costs.
Enjoy fresh produce cooked in a community setting, learn new recipes and enjoy with friends at Cook and Eat sessions
In times of need, Oldham residents can still access locally grown fresh, healthy produce through supplies to Oldham Foodbank from Oldham Growers
