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, we commissioned eat:Festivals to organise the 2019 food trail, and the Food Trail was incorporated into its West Country Food Adventures event. Subsequently, the Taste the Landscape steering group felt it was important to return to the original concept of the Food Trail as focusing exclusively on Somerset farmers and producers. So Taste the Landscape, the Somerset Food Trail, will return in 2020. |
