Open Doors Somerset

Open Doors Somerset We give food shops can't sell to anyone to eat through our community fridge at 2 West Street Crewkerne TA18 8AX. More at www.opendoorssomerset.org.uk

We also run a Repair Hub there fortnightly on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of the month from 10-midday. Crewkerne Community Kitchen gives away food that shops can't sell to people who would like to eat it. Thanks to support from Crewkerne Town Council we have space at the George Reynolds Centre, South St Crewkerne TA18 8DA, and open on Mondays 11-1pm, Tuesdays 11.30-12.30pm and Thursdays 9.30 to 11am. Any donations are welcome - cash helps cover the cost of insurance, and volunteers picking up the food. We also run the Chop & Chat cooking group on Fridays from 11am - 2pm; join a group of people preparing and eating delicious healthy food on a budget at the Speedwell Hall, 5 Abbey St Crewkerne TA18 7HY. We ask for a £3 voluntary contribution for those that can afford it, which covers the cost of ingredients - usually we prepare a 2 course meal and there's often leftovers!

Have you ever tried BokashI?
At the Open Doors Hub we have a 2 part workshop starting 18th April, at just £8 for both sessions!
Bokashi is a Japanese composting system that pickles your all your kitchen food waste, including that which you’d normally not want to put in your conventional composting bin (due to pests, bacteria). Bokashi, meaning “fermented organic matter” in Japanese, is an ingenious way of making use of your food scraps whilst being a perfect option if you have a small, indoor space. You’ll learn how it works, the science behind the fermentation process, and its applications for both your larger compost systems, or as a plant fertiliser.

In the first session, we’ll discuss what you can put into a bokashi bin, what the ferment is, and where you should keep it. We’ll have a bin available that we’ll load up with food waste and prepare it for fermentation.

In the second session, we’ll check on the waste that has been fermenting for the last two weeks. We’ll discuss what actually happens to it, why it’s safe to use (and rat proof if you then add it to your compost) and other applications in your garden or potted plants.
