- Size Guide
A note on gender and sizing:
We believe that clothes do not have a gender, and that the fit, colour and style of clothing is an individual choice. We’ve de-gendered product descriptions and instead have tried to give information about the cut and fit. However, we’re a bit limited by the clothing that is available and how companies choose to present their clothing. For this reason, the labelling inside our clothing may unfortunately still be gendered – but we encourage you to wear whatever you like and feel comfortable in.
Similarly, we have tried to expand on the range of sizing we have offered previously, but again we are somewhat limited by what is on offer. This is still a work in progress and any feedback on sizing – and suggestions for more ethical clothing suppliers who offer a wide range of sizing would be appreciated.

This amazing collation of songs draws on the collective talent of our membership and musicians who support our cause. Stand Up Now collates traditional and original music gathered from the farms, woods and cities of our contested nation, and stands in a proud tradition of peoples’ music and peoples’ history.

In Our Hands – Seeding Change
The inspiring story behind the blood, sweat and tears of the British farmers seizing the Brexit moment to outgrow the industrial food system.
Our current industrial food system is a vast wheezing giant propped up by an outdated subsidy regime, one that pays out to landowners and leaves many farmers adrift.
But in the UK… from the hedgerows and by-roads, in the fields and furrows, can be heard the stirring of change.
Stories of struggle from the global South have spread like pollen on the wind and inspired farmers and food activists. They have learned the idea of food sovereignty and have heard of a global movement to take back control of the food system.
We stand on the brink, the future is uncertain, but the seeds of a better food system are In Our Hands.
“A powerful and inspiring film, one that deserves a wide audience who will no doubt champion a better way of growing, shopping, cooking and eating” – Hugh Fearnley-Wittingstall – River Cottage
“Marvelous to see the rebirth of serious discussion about the future of UK land use. It’s time we put our own house in order” – Professor Tim Lang – Centre for Food Policy
“A meditative and eye opening journey into a world that closely mirrors our own challenges in the US and the world over” – Delila Vallot – Director, Can You Dig This

Our 2025 Calendar
Join us on a journey through the changing seasons; from the restful, cold of deep winter, to the stirring of new life in spring, the buzz and hum of mid summer followed by the slow wind down to the cool of autumn, and back once more, to winter.
Each month tells a story of nature, landwork and seasonal celebrations and is accompanied with a delicious seasonal recipe, shared by members of the LWA. Warming winter stews, cooling teas, tasty fresh tomatoes, tangy ferments and much more, our calendar is a delight to the senses!
Our new artist for 2025, Emma Reith, has created 12 unique lino cut artworks from her studio in Cornwall. Emma’s beautiful prints skilfully bring to life each season, from the plants that are growing in the hedgerows, to the creatures in the skies and on the earth, and the people working the land, from the fields to the forests and seas.
