Community Heritage Wheat Harvest In London

Local community volunteers help harvest the heritage wheat crop from the public Ruskin Park, on 8th August, 2016, in the south London borough of Lambeth, UK. The wheat has been growing in the parks long grass area, a corner where a variety of wheat such as Blue Cone Rivet, Rouge dEcosse and Old kent Red and others including from Ethiopia, have thrived. London heritage wheat specialist and baker Andy Forbes, will have his produce ground in the once-derelict windmill in Brixton, which, after Lottery funding, now serves the community as a working mill. Harvest helpers included passer-by Danielle Naki in yellow, who picked up a sickle and cut wheat as she once did as a child on her fathers farm in Ivory Coast.
