AN organic farming collective that supplied fresh produce to hundreds of families has been immortalised in a photo exhibition at a local restaurant.
At its height, the Growing Green co-operative provided about 150 families from across Darlington, South Durham, Teesside and North Yorkshire with fresh vegetables every week.
Photographer Richard Glynn documented the work of the co-operative, which ended in October last year.
The fruits of his labour are on display at The Waiting Room, in Eaglescliffe.
From only six acres of land near Walworth Castle, in County Durham, Growing Green supplied organic vegetables to a network of members for 14 years.
Members of the co-operative volunteered time to plant, weed, sow and deliver in return for organic produce picked that day.
Mr Glynn said: "I wanted to capture the atmosphere and beliefs of Growing Green through an exploration of the place, the plants and the people."
The exhibition runs at the restaurant, in Station Road, Eaglescliffe, until May 16.
