The Neighbourhood Forum has recently been contacted by the Eat Seasonably Campaign. Its aim is to help us enjoy fruit and veg when they are naturally at their best – better taste, better value and better for the environment. Visit http://www.eatseasonably.co.uk to find out how to make the most of what’s best this month or click on the video below.
.
A special event to promote Eat Seasonably will take place outside Acocks Green library, and next door at the Inn on the Green on 3rd Sept from 12pm in the form of an outdoor street party. The aim to get the local community involved in learning about eating healthily, and more importantly, locally grown produce, harvested in its best season. Also, they will be serving three courses of free food for the public, cooked using the freshest and locally sourced produce in season.
As Eat Seasonably is a non-profit organisation, this event is entirely free. They are serving free food to set up awareness for healthy eating and offering what they promise to be a fantastic fun filled day on with a chance to sample free and tasty food, and also get the children involved in fun activities. See below for all details:
The organisers of the event are also looking for volunteers and children’s entertainers for the day too.
Details about the campaign are on http://www.eatseasonably.co.uk, and for more info on the event day, visit their Facebook Event Page ‘Eat Seasonably’.
