Eat Local Sundays!

The aim of the project is to encourage people to eat locally and support local businesses and organisations, by offering people a Sunday food experience using local produce and allowing people to experience a farm or nature walk.

To establish a connection between local residents and landholders, with flora and fauna in the area and thereby attract increased land care membership.
