Maggie Doyle from Blinknow.org knows what her dream is: to make it so that every kid in the world has access to education, a warm bed and a meal everyday. She is actually DOing something about it.

The Do Lectures were this past week in Cardigan, Wales. It was an opportunity to network with creatives and to take part in experiencing and learning from people that are doing some great things. The Do Lectures is not a repeat venue. They only allow you to go every other year so more people can benefit from the DO.
I learned about DO from my friend Andy Middleton who runs an adventure company in St. David’s called TYF. He was one of the founding partners and the moderator for the event. Andy’s ability to rule a room really helped to make this experience. We all got in on Thursday mid-day and spent a few hours getting acclimated and organised before the first 4 lectures started. It was inspiring, intellectual and fun to listen to each one.

A couple of weeks ago TILT connected with Foodcycle… Britain’s own solution for foodwaste reduction. Kelvin Cheung has initiated a revolution with his idea to take grocery and market waste that is still edible and turn it into meals for the homeless, the community and other parties that would value the otherwise “binned” food. He has set it up to be a franchise, asking school groups, community groups and the like to start the effort and initiate the concept in their local areas. He provides training and ideas for making it happen.

Sourced Market at St. Pancras Station has been a great meeting place for Tilt for the last couple of months. It is warm, inviting, centrally located between the Tube, the National Rail System and the International Rail System and it is a food that has a known ‘source.’ Coincidentally, I had mentioned to one of my friends if there were any people in the food industry that he knew in London and he mentioned one of the owners of Sourced Market. Obviously I was thrilled at the introduction and the opportunity to meet. This guy and his partner really have something here.

We here at Tilt are working on a pitch to Meatless Monday’s to give their brand and logo a fresh face. Above you can see the current brand and our pitch version on the right. We believe in the concept of going meatless as often as possible to curb green house gas emissions. The left is the existing logo and the right is our recommendation on a new mark.
A lot of people look at where our food industry has brought us in the last 30 years and the things needed to change are overwhelming. As consumers we are told that it is our responsibility to demand better quality food. We are told to buy organic, grow our own garden, not to eat meat, eliminate fast food, and the list goes on. Sometimes making these life changes is quite difficult, whether it is a monetary issue, parents with picky children or convenience and a lack of time to make real food at home.

Thanks to Novella Carpenter (and Anne Draddy for telling me about her), Oakland can now claim fame to one of the most talked about US City Farms (well at least of the new millennium). Farm City is based on her story of living in the historic and tainted “Ghost-Town” in an undesirable area of Oakland with a 100 yard plot in her backyard that she essentially squatted on for the last decade. She built an inner city farm complete with pigs, chickens, rabbits and honey bees and her stories are wonderful.

Riverford Farms, our local veg box scheme, has this amazing traveling Yurt in the South East side of London. We had been getting boxes from Riverford, but we must have missed this opportunity to eat at their traveling restaurant that is only happening during the summer. We had heard about their restaurant in Devon and we couldn’t wait to get there, so this was a chance to have something a little closer by. Only on Thursday we were hanging out with our neighbor Steve (who works at Riverford) and he mentioned that the yurt was here just until Sunday. So, we rented our City Car Prius and drove 2 hours out of Surrey, past Chartwell and Leeds Castle to this little East Coast version of Riverford farm. We drove down a one way road, that was meant to be two way, and ended up in a pear and apple orchard to our dinner at the yurt.

What a great talk! On August 19th we had a chance to really connect and talk openly and candidly about what is going on in our industry. Conclusions were definitely made and we were able to share a lot of our ideas as a group. Elaine, Eric B, Eric K and myself were the primary group. We had a few people come in and out, but we didn’t include any other team members.
Please check out the page on our website with more information.
