This #EarthDay, we’re reminded that food is never just food — it’s climate, community, culture, and care.

As Sheila Dillon, patron of the Food Museum, says: “How we grow, produce, buy, cook and consume food is crucial to the future of human life… Six inches of soil is all we’ve got between us and extinction.”

At the museum, we dig into the stories of food and farming — and explore how the past can inspire a more sustainable future. 🌾🌍

Our lovely Suffolk Punch mare Faith has returned to the museum and is already making the most of the sunshine, happily grazing in the fields.

Her daughter Juno will be joining us again in a couple of weeks, once she’s fully weaned. We can’t wait to have them reunited! 💛
