Heritage Food Crops Research Trust

The Trust works in a multi-disciplinary way - using research, horticulture and community action as the three arms of its activities. The Trust stays abreast of the literature about the health benefits of food crops. It grows crops to provide for testing. It commissions and collaborates with scientists investigating the health potential of these crops. Cultivating and processing crops is carried out by a volunteer team at the Trust's orchard/gardens and by people working on their own properties. The Trust is at heart a wellness initiative. Its mission is not to sell crops but to educate and empower people to grow and consume more of the most beneficial food crops so they become healthier and more resistant to disease.
