Over the past 10 years, RMR has adapted with the constant change that is life. Our roots began deep in community – in 2014 we started as a food waste kitchen turning donated fruit and veg that would have otherwise ended up in landfill into weekly feasts at Redmond Community Centre in Hackney, London. On the estate we learned about local people’s ailments and taste buds, cooking cultural foods and collectively adapting recipes to create nutritious, plant-based and mostly gluten free dishes.

Our ethical cooperative business spread over the country cooking at various events over the years, fundraisers, unconventional weddings, alternative festivals where we also hosted stages and shared music, storytelling, art and holistic workshops. We try our best to support local growers and makers in each region, choosing the less plastic, air-mile way. We empower each other to look deeper at our choices, our habits, how we live and work, to understand the stories of our current era. We explore ‘time as art’ – a co-creative healing process that gives back to the whole somehow.

Food has a massive cultural and social meaning to many of us and has been our medium of expression to cook and serve food that has heart, nourishes the body and the earth, and aligns with Permaculture principles of People Care, Fair Share and Earth Care. We are remembering the more wild and ancient ways, foraging, fermenting, making medicines, cooking with ritual, beauty and respect.

We have relocated to the wild lands of Dartmoor in the UK and are taking a different direction while growing family, teaching in schools, living in community. Watch this space! Join us on a journey of cookery, music, art, nature connection and friendship in these changing times… giving thanks to all the people that have worked with us, bringing their flavour and big visions, and to all the incredible volunteers who help make it happen!
