Windmill Community Gardens
A super place where great things grow and happen for the local community
Windmill Community Gardens is a Climate Friendly Gardeners Project.
It is run by a group of local people, who are nurturing a wonderful community garden in the heart of the city. You'll find this little utopia just South of Bobbersmill Bridge, on the allotment site at the South end of Ascot Road.
The Gardens are a great place where anyone can come to find out more about growing their own food in a changing climate. They cater for all abilities and welcome any nationality or age group.
Rigsby's Seasonal Foods have recently collaborated with Windmill Community Gardens, making an exciting Shrub Cordial using their own grown Hops and Grapes and the results were delicious. We look forward to doing more into the future with these lovely folk

Tough Mary’s make a wide range of specialty coffees, hot and cold drinks, handmade pastries, bread, cakes, tarts, sandwiches and savoury treats full of wholesomeness
Their aim is to make products which taste amazing and bring happiness with each bite. The Tough Marys team are passionate about what they do and want to share that joy with their customers.
All of their products are made from scratch on site, and with an open kitchen you can see their bakers unloading sourdoughs from the ovens and preparing all sorts of sweet and savoury treats.
They never use improvers or additives in any of their bread and pastries which which gets a big paws up from Rigsby's Seasonal Foods and in addition their products are also long fermented for improved flavour

Shiny Tap Brewery
Making Happy People with great beer, sustainability, inclusivity and integrity
Established in 2012, Shiny began as a small-scale cask brewery operation in the beer garden at the back of the Furnace Inn pub in Derby. This is where our Founder, Pedro, made their first ever brew - Launchpad, a 3.9% pale ale.
After winning awards and recognition for their beers, they moved to a 5000sq.ft site in 2015 to the beautiful village of Little Eaton, just outside of Derby. Shiny Brewery has continually invested in making better beer and getting more of it to more people.
Their great selection of beer is now available nation-wide in cask, keg and cans in all sorts of amazing venues as well as their awesome onsite taproom, The Shiny Tap.
