ADVENTURES<br />

We're heading off on an Adventure this summer...<br />

13 - 28 JULY


Introduction<br />

we chose to live in Somerset, we got to know our new home by eating and drinking our way around the county. A<br />

When<br />

of apples or little shed of eggs by a cottage garden would have us screech to a halt for the freshest produce.<br />

basket<br />

was real farming, with little input other than sun, soil, rain and deep understanding. We discovered cider makers<br />

This<br />

tell us the names of every tree, and bakers from dynasties of village fête-winners. Little by little we understood<br />

who’d<br />

remarkable and precious were the smokers, the shrimp-catchers, the charcuterers and the wine-makers, who use<br />

how<br />

unique landscape to develop our heritage of food and drink. It made us relish our finds more, because we knew the<br />

this<br />

of how much skill and graft had gone into their creation. But, like Breton oysters that can only be tasted in Paris,<br />

stories<br />

the best produce seemed difficult to get hold of in the place it was created.<br />

often<br />

we started a food festival, which has now grown to 16 eat:Festivals this year, spanning towns in North, South, East<br />

So<br />

<strong>West</strong> Somerset, with the greatest produce from the land around them. You’re very welcome to all of them; they’re<br />

and<br />

and fun and keep winning awards. But it all started with little adventures into food and drink.<br />

free<br />

so many of these producers have now thrown open their doors to us all, to come and discover how their<br />

Happily,<br />

flavours are made. <strong>West</strong> <strong>Country</strong> <strong>Food</strong> <strong>Adventures</strong> are an invitation to get to the root of what the land is for.<br />

awesome<br />

can ask questions, taste test, have a go or just have a picnic and go & explore a farm. We’ve tried to make it easy<br />

You<br />

get to by bus, bike, horse or on foot. Most of the events are free and many can be self-led. If you’ve been looking for<br />

to<br />

excuse to delve into the levels or moors, coast or hills of this beautiful part of the world, these <strong>West</strong> <strong>Country</strong> <strong>Food</strong><br />

an<br />

are a great place to start.<br />

With


of Taste the Landscape<br />

Origins<br />

the Landscape, Somerset’s first food trail event, was launched in July 2018 by a group of community organisations<br />

Taste<br />

are passionate about locally produced, sustainable food. They include Wells <strong>Food</strong> Network, Reimagining The Levels,<br />

that<br />

Community <strong>Food</strong>, Somerset Local <strong>Food</strong>, Sustainable Wells and Green Wedmore.<br />

Somerset<br />

aim was to celebrate the best of Somerset’s food and farming by showcasing its farmers and producers as well as<br />

The<br />

cafés and pubs. Unlike many other food trails, which are often linked to tourism and focused on food outlets,<br />

retailers,<br />

wanted to give people a chance to visit Somerset’s farmers and producers in person and learn more about how they<br />

we<br />

their wonderful food and drink.<br />

produce<br />

that end, Taste the Landscape was modelled on arts weeks where artists open their doors to the public over a set<br />

To<br />

Participants ranged from vineyards, cheese makers and vegetable growers to artisan bakers, goat herders and<br />

period.<br />

makers. Activities such as vineyard tours and sausage making workshops were organised and participating pubs<br />

cider<br />

cafés were asked to feature local food on the menu. The event was mostly free to visitors, with a modest charge for<br />

and<br />

special events.<br />

some<br />

this way, we hoped to increase the visibility of, and demand for, locally produced and sustainable food. As Wells <strong>Food</strong><br />

In<br />

chair Stewart Crocker explains: “We all believe that by putting healthy, sustainable food at the heart of all we<br />

Network<br />

we can strengthen our communities, conserve our countryside and boost our local economy. The aim of Taste the<br />

do,<br />

is to celebrate the great work being done by so many small-scale Somerset producers who are working hard<br />

Landscape<br />

produce the best product they can while also enhancing our landscape, protecting biodiversity, farming to high<br />

to<br />

standards, reducing food miles – and, of course, producing delicious food and drink.” Feedback from year one of<br />

welfare<br />

<strong>Food</strong> Trail was very positive. As most of the organisers of the 2018 event were volunteers, we then commissioned<br />

the<br />

eat:Festivals to produce Taste the Landscape in <strong>2019</strong>.<br />

award-winning<br />

very much hope you enjoy it!<br />
