NOURISH
We believe a vibrant community hub would be central to delivering food security. We plan to establish NOURISH for this purpose. NOURISH will be a multi-functional space in the town centre. A place where:
– We share food, have feasts and celebrations, and where everybody can come together around food, to eat together, to talk, to network and exchange ideas.
– We learn from eachother, and improve our skills; where we stage talks and events by local and visiting food producers, educators, and community groups; where anyone can learn about nutrition and how to cook nutritious food, and how to support farmers. we’ll have a kitchen – where we can host cookery demonstrations; and run workshops in preserving, reducing waste, making the most of a limited budget, why seasonal food is paramount, etc.
– Local farmers and new local micro farmers can bring their fresh produce to sell – quality nutritious food easily accessible to all.
NOURISH will include a café that will have normal market prices, but will also have discounts and pay forward methods for those unable to pay commercial rates. The aim is to make well cooked food available to the wider community. Nourishing our health and the planet’s health, feeding the local economy, and the environment too.
