What makes a Food for Life Get Together?

A Get Together connects people from different backgrounds or generations through good food activities.

Food is a great leveller and brings people together, regardless of age, heritage or background.

What is good food?

Good food is food that’s good for you, good for the planet and good for the local economy.  Good food is even better when shared and we believe good food should be for everyone!

 

“Complete beginners having a go at growing their own fruits and vegetables has been a great way to investigate fresh food and sustainable food sources. It’s been fantastic to see both children and adults enjoying trying a new hobby and demonstrating what Food for Life Get Togethers is all about.”

Sue Evans, Charity Manager at Manor Farm
