A food map to explore

I was sent a link to this food map over the half term.
Click for the large version


I think the Fens is also a fabulous food region, and Year 7 are going to explore what we produce in our area that could go on a similar map which we can create over the next half term.

Keep food miles to a minimum by researching local food producers.

Here's a few that spring to mind:

Corkers Crisps
British Sugar - refineries for beet in the area go to make Tate and Lyle and other granulated sugar
Breweries e.g. Elgood's and other micro-breweries
Waterland Organics - veg boxes etc.
Fenland Celery (blogged about previously) - G's Fresh Ltd.

What else can you find ?

We also have to organise a few other food related things, such as some cooking.

Remember that the first few weeks when we come back are Fairtrade Fortnight.

And finally, I hope your food Missions are coming along nicely!!
