We started as a movement of Leithers reclaiming common good land to make healthy food and nature accessible to ourselves and our children. For the first years of our existence, we were known as Leith Community Crops in Pots. Now we’re working to tackle a broken food system, climate change and social inequality locally, nationally and internationally.
