The LFA has joined the ‘Year of Food and Farming project’ which launches on the 12^th September 2007

This project has been launched with the aim of promoting healthy living by giving young people direct experience of the countryside, farming and food.

The Local Food Alliance will be organising farm visits to their award winning apple and strawberry farm based in Sutton Valance, giving children the understanding of a working farm and the chance to see the journey of an apple from being picked in an orchard to being put into their lunchbox!

More information regarding the visits and our plans will be updated shortly.
