Who are we?

Incredible Edible Reading is on a mission to encourage and support residents to grow food locally. We will make connections between communities and businesses that want to grow food and contribute to the town's biodiversity. We are really keen to hear from the people of Reading about how the network can support food-growing ideas.

Incredible Edible is a growing movement of communities coming together through the power of food. Watch the Ted Talk below to find out more and join us @incredibleediblerdg for the latest updates on all the events.
