Wed, 29 Jul 2026 'Why we are rescuing unpicked blackberries'

Low-income households will benefit from blackberries being collected, a community group says.
The initiative, led by Cambridge Sustainable Food, aims to reduce food waste by using the abundant blackberry crop. The recipe boxes will include recipe cards and pre-weighed ingredients, and will be distributed through the Cambridge Food Hub group. According to Alex Vardill from the organisation, the goal is to provide a useful resource for households while also reducing the amount of fruit that would otherwise go to waste.
