Local Food for Local Schools

'Local Food for Local Schools' was a 2-year project to increase the amount of locally produced food in school meals.

 

The project set up a successful and active local group where school cooks, teachers, governors and local producers could meet to find ways of working together. There are now several schools in the area sourcing their food from local producers.

"The way we at St Peter's see the future is buying local produce which helps sustain the local economy – you know that the food you are eating has travelled only a few miles and your produce is as fresh as possible and therefore more nutritious." 

Jeanette Orrey, School Catering Manager and Local Food Consultant.
