A charity is setting up a farm shop at a prison to sell produce grown on site to the public.
The Oswin Project, set up to help ex-offenders, will also take over the management of HMP Northumberland’s gardens.
Chief executive Fiona Sample said the shop, set to open on 28 June, would prevent produce normally grown for prisoners being wasted.
The prison, near Acklington, houses about 1,400 male inmates.
“A lot of produce grown here used to go to waste and we’ll make sure everything grown here gets used,” Ms. Sample said.
