Food and Farming

The aims of the Food group are:

• to increase our community's ability to feed itself
• to support local farmers and small-scale food producers
• to cut down on the carbon emissions caused by transporting food into the area from distant suppliers.

The Food group is in the process of applying for funding for the following food-related projects:

• purchase or lease of land for a village allotment scheme
• a community shop, to provide an outlet for locally-produced food (and perhaps other home-produced goods such as knitwear and gifts)
• an edible-tree planting week.

We would be very excited to hear from anyone with an interest in these or any food-related project. Please get in touch. You can mail us at getinvolved@stmerryn.org.uk
