Who are we?
|
Taste the Landscape was initiated by a group of community organisations that are passionate about healthy, locally produced and sustainable food. They include Wells Food Network, Reimagining The Levels, Somerset Community Food, Somerset Local Food Direct, Sustainable Wells and Green Wedmore. Wells Food Network chair Stewart Crocker says: “We all believe that by putting healthy, sustainable food at the heart of all we do, we can strengthen our communities, conserve our countryside and boost our local economy."
Following the inaugural food trail in 2018, the Taste the Landscape steering group commissioned eat:Festivals to organise the 2019 food trail. Award-winning eat:Festivals have a great reputation for organising food festivals throughout Somerset. We are delighted that they have agreed to organise the second year of the Somerset Food Trail.
