We've always been Breastfeeding Welcome at Natural Weigh but appreciate not everyone might know that 😁.

The Breastfeeding Welcome scheme is a great programme run in Powys by the health board. Promoting breastfeeding and ensuring people feel comfortable feeding their baby in public is so important to us so we're delighted to have their window sticker now. 💚

So, if you're a super Mum doing your shopping while feeding your baby, you are welcome! Equally if you're out and about and fancy a sit down, coffee and cake while feeding your baby, you are also welcome. If you need anything from us and the team to help you feel comfortable just let us know.

Black beans are good for more than just chilli! Mmmm this looks awesome. Weve got black beans in store, tinned or dried, all plastic free and organic 😁

Organic black beans are back - perfect for this herb-packed Persian-inspired stew from Eden Owen-Jones. We’ve new stock in of our full range of organic beans from France - black, borlotti, flageolet and white coco.

Grown at Sancheville in the fertile land between Seine and the Loire by Jérémy and Jonathan Desforges of the Ferme des 3 Rois, these beautiful beans have glossy black skins, creamy interiors and a rich, nutty flavour. They hold their shape wonderfully when cooked but are tender enough to soak up layers of flavour.

In this recipe, they're simmered with an aromatic blend of fresh herbs and warming spices before being topped with sweet fried dates and tangy preserved lemon. The result is rich, fragrant and deeply satisfying.

It's a reminder that black beans are brilliant for far more than just chilli.

And find organic Borlotti, Coco, Flageolet and Black beans from Ferme des 3 Rois now - available separately or as a bundle of all four: https://hodmedods.co.uk/products/beans-of-france-selection-organic

Yikes! Those pesky single use plastics get everywhere, even our own gardens. Next month is and this could be the time to review your garden practices 🌱👀

Compost, fertilisers and even turf may all contain plastic elements.

I came across this and had to share it💚.

"Over a six month period, a new scheme in south Wales aimed at recycling an extra 200 tonnes of farm plastics has successfully smashed its target.

Between July and December 2025, over 200 farmers recycled 311 tonnes of agricultural plastics. This represents a 63% increase in the tonnage of farm plastic recycled from plastics dropped off at bring centres compared to the same period in 2023 and 2024.

Due to its success, the scheme is being extended until December 2026. The scheme currently offers a discount of £30 per tonne for farmers for plastic, either brought to a bring centre or for on-farm collection. Farmers pay £40 a tonne less taking plastic to a bring centre."

Spread the word to any farmers you know 😁💚♻️

What a fantastic event by Hay Brecon and Talgarth Sanctuary for refugees today at llangattock primary school 💚.

We were so pleased to be able to provide 2 delicious quiches and a beautiful cake made by Bethan.

It's lovely to be part of such an open and inclusive community. Well done to all the organisers and volunteers.

The results are in from the latest Big Plastic Count UK. We don't hear about single use plastic as a problem in the news anymore but the issue is very much still there.

🔥59% of plastic is burned
🚢16% is shipped abroad
🛘9% is buried

That's only 16% of plastic being recycled ☹️

Burning plastic releases toxic gases and more carbon dioxide than burning coal! Plus incinerators are ten times more likely to be built in deprived areas, exacerbating health inequalities.

Thank you to everyone who joins us in this continued battle 💚. You're all making a difference and the more people who refuse single use plastic, the bigger the difference we make. Keep it up and please spread the word 📢.

What's better than strawberries? 🍓

Plastic free, organic British strawberries in season! 🍓💚🍓

Weve had these beauties in for the last two weeks and im in ❤️ with them. Strawberries are one of the 'dirty dozen', i.e. fresh foods with the highest chemical load 🤮. So while they are à little pricey we think it's well worth it to know you're not eating pesticides and herbicides 🌱.

Enjoy, while stocks last!
