Haringey Arts Cluster

"HCG has given me all the right advice, leads and encouragement that I needed to come as far as I have. City Growth was clearly presented and I knew that is exactly what I have been interested in for years. As a result my products are now being sold at Budgens." Hodayah Baht-Isreal, Mighty Veg Delight.
