Transition Exeter is proud to have been linked to the Exeter Growers Co-Operative for its 7-year history. The Exeter Growers Co-Operative rents 4 acres of organic productive land on the South Western edge of Exeter, near Shillingford.
The Co-Operative strives to promote understanding, enjoyment and sustainable use of the land, especially through organic food production. All production is to Soil Association Organic Standards.
The field is an inspiring place – there’s a young orchard, a Devon hedge, a willow-bed, ‘the shed’, two poly tunnels and plenty of space for organically growing vegetables and soft fruit.

The idea for 10-mile-dinners arose in a conversation between members of Transition Exeter. We were attending so many meetings that we weren’t having time for a social life. We wanted to get social activists together, but needed an event that was both enjoyable and that facilitated the discussions we needed to have about living more sustainably.
We all love cooking and socialising around food so came up with a simple model:
Choose a group of people that you want to spend time with, who you think will be interested in a particular topic (our first one was centred around people with an interest in sustainable healthcare).
Agree a date and invite everyone to bring some food or drink (liaise a bit to ensure that people don’t all bring the same thing).
The general idea is that everything brought should be sourced as locally and sustainably as possible, but there are many different levels at which this can work.
However people contribute, you end up with a lovely shared meal, an opportunity to talk about things that matter to you all and a little bit more awareness of what we take for granted and how we can shop and eat more consciously.

Wild flowers, plants and fungi are the life support for all our wildlife and their colour and character light up our landscapes. But without our help, this priceless natural heritage is in danger of being lost.
From the open spaces of our nature reserves to the corridors of government, we work nationally and internationally to raise their profile, celebrate their beauty, and to protect their future.

Whether you’re a professional researcher, a BDS member, curious about the natural world – or all three – we hope you’ll find it a useful and interesting resource.

Jews have lived and worshipped in Exeter for over 250 years. The synagogue, which was built in 1763, is small, beautiful and, happily, still used regularly for services. It has been carefully restored by successive generations, the last time being in 2013 to mark the start of our 250th anniversary year.

What you’ll find when you visit RAMM. Displays showcase the world-class collections and collectors that have helped RAMM to become one of Britain’s finest regional museums.
They tell the story of Exeter and Devon from the prehistoric to the present but RAMM is more than a local museum. Its internationally-important world cultures and natural sciences collections also tell a story of global exploration and collecting in the 18th and 19th centuries.
As well as its diverse and significant collections, RAMM’s lively programme of exhibitions, activities and events ensures that it is the most visited attraction in Exeter and one of the most visited museums in the South West.
