Ep 11: Crop Drop with Jenny Palmer
Description
In today's episode, Andrew is joined by Jenny Palmer, Community Development Officer at Newark and Sherwood District Council, who is sharing more about the wonderful initiative of Crop Drop within the Feeding Newark and Sherwood Network. This programme sees growers sharing their produce with families that need it most, via projects within the Feeding Newark and Sherwood Network, and Jenny explains the huge impact this has had not only on the network's ability to provide fresh fruit and veg but on the sense of community and togetherness within the whole area. For anyone looking to set up something similar in their area, Jenny is happy to be contacted for advice on jenny.palmer@newark-sherwooddc.gov.uk
