It's time, !

Visit the Kickstarter to see inside the book

There’s an exclusive preview of images and excerpts from the book waiting for you on our Kickstarter page. This is where you can pledge your support and choose your rewards. Let’s make a book together!

Kickstarter is a safe and user-friendly platform, but if you have any questions about how it works email hello@meetusandeatus.co.uk or call Liz on 07944 872332. 

Please spread the word

1) Please share the Kickstarter link as widely and often as you can: email, text, messenger, your social media channels and in-person conversation. Sharing the link throughout March will make a huge difference to our campaign and we are grateful for every mention of Meet Us and Eat Us.

Knowing you’ve supported the Kickstarter will help build trust in new readers. Knowing why you’re excited about the book will prompt people to take a look. Please help a new audience find our book and feel confident in joining the Kickstarter journey. If you’re on Twitter/X you can tag @MeetUsEatUs.

2) Invite people to join our free newsletter community at www.meetusandeatus.co.uk. We’re sharing our food plant research, easy favourite recipes, stories from our travels, invitations to events, and Q&A. The newsletter also contains exclusive original writing and fine art photography that won’t be in the book.

3) We have business cards with the gorgeous tomatoes image on one side, contact details on the other. If you’d like some to hand out when talking about Meet Us and Eat Us email hello@meetusandeatus.co.uk or call Liz on 07944 87332 to give your postal address.

The Meet Us and Eat Us Community

Many voices are what’s needed:
Creativity is seeded
Not by one mind in a garret,
Shivering like a lonely carrot
Left to wilt inside the fridge.
Many voices: be our bridge!
Bring our book from shore to shore,
Across your firm goodwill, and more,
Across each golden stepping stone:
Books are not made by dreams alone.
We ask for pledges to kickstart
The manufacturing of art.
Our book’s waiting, ripe and ready;
We need you to keep it steady
On its travels from the laptop
To the library and bookshop.
We’ve chosen plants you’ll love to see;
We’ve let them speak in poetry;
We’ve told their stories, true and wild,
For reading adult, listening child.
Meet Us and Eat Us is our book;
Please click the link to take a look
Then share with all your favourite folk;
Share food and drink and share a joke.
Meet Us and Eat Us is a way
To celebrate your food each day.
When you hold our book in your hands
You’ll taste the world, and all its lands.

Come and listen
