We’ve teamed up with Forestry England to plant a Pieminister forest. For every plant-based pie or patty bought we’ll donate money towards planting trees. This is all part of our project, Eat Pies: Plant Trees. So the more plant-based eating we do, the bigger the forest will grow. Some even call us Plantminister 😉 This is all read more …
