We’re open for business
May 31, 2009
We have a hectic week ahead of us as Camel Community Supported Agriculture members prepare for the Royal Cornwall Show and our first Open Day.
Visitors to the show and the Open Day will be able to talk to our enthusiastic volunteers, find out what we’re growing, and discover the benefits of getting involved in our community food growing venture.
You will find our stand in the show’s popular Cornwall Food and Farming Pavilion from Thursday 4 June to Saturday 6 June. Make sure you come and visit us there.
We will be selling freshly-picked salad packs and signing up new members to our local food project – the first of its kind in Cornwall.
We are sharing the stand with the Soil Association, which has just helped to set up the new West Penwith Community Supported Agriculture project. We are also there thanks to the Plunkett Foundation, which manages the Making Local Food Work campaign.
The next day, on Sunday 7 June, we are holding a series of Open Farm Sunday events between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. including guided tours of the site at St Kew Highway near Wadebridge.
There will be family activities and all-day refreshments including homemade cakes and cold drinks, with a barbeque from 12 noon – 2 p.m. You are welcome to bring your own picnic.
