Food Group Meeting

The next meeting of the Food Group will take place on Tuesday 29th June at 50 Swansfield Park Road, Alnwick - 7.30pm. Bring along food and drink to share, perhaps thinking about local and seasonal produce. We'll have a picnic on the field behind the house if the weather is good enough - so bring a rug or a chair to sit on. If the weather isn't so good we'll have our picnic in the house.

Everyone with an interest in Food issues welcome. Let us know if you plan to attend, just so that we have an idea of numbers.

We'll be planning future activities including Pete's offer of a tour of the Roots and Shoots project at Alnwick Garden.

Happy eating - I'm currently eating rhubarb, spinach, radish and lettuce leaves from the garden and am eagerly awaiting the peas, broad beans and strawberries!
