Okehampton Community Kitchen
All small businesses are someone’s dream and 3 East Street founded by Rebecca Kitty Green is full of them. Rebecca’s food journey started with the Okehampton Inspiration Festival in 2016 where she ran a pop up cafe. From that she went on to run weekly markets in the Charter Hall and helped to set up numerous community enterprises including the Okehampton Elf Outpost, Okehampton Vegans & Friends, and Okehampton Festive Markets. Rebecca has won both food and business awards with her ethic of investing in community and supporting a circular economy. Rebecca has a love of community firmly at the centre of her small business – as she says, ‘community is everything.’
Okehampton Community Kitchen is big on community spirit and with a social conscience this small but vibrant space is also the head quarters of the Okehampton Community Kitchen – a not for profit community interest company which has delivered thousands of emergency meals, provided life skills training, donated slow cooker packs to alleviate fuel poverty, set up a breakfast club for school children and a Bench Buddy scheme to help combat loneliness as well as an after school Friday youth project all within Okehampton.
Experience Location
Okehampton lies at the confluence of the East and West Okement Rivers – both which tumble down from off high Dartmoor and from which the town takes its name. Okehampton is an ancient town and was initially settled in the Bronze Age – its castle dates back to Norman times. The town is described as the walking centre of Dartmoor and is the start point of numerous, varied and beautiful walks and cycle rides exploring woodland, river valleys and winding up onto the Moor. See our downloadable guide for more details and ideas.
