O<strong>the</strong>r food projects we have supported:<br />
Bridport Food Festival attracts<br />
thousands of people each year, all with an<br />
interest in good quality, tasty local food.<br />
In 2006 we supported <strong>the</strong> Sea to Vale<br />
marquee which celebrated <strong>the</strong> links<br />
between landscape, food and farming.<br />
The Bridport Local Food Group organised<br />
farm walks, food tastings and cooking<br />
demonstrations to showcase some of<br />
<strong>Dorset</strong>’s best local food, and enjoyed<br />
<strong>the</strong> support of Lesley Waters and Hugh<br />
Fearnley-Whittingstall for <strong>the</strong> event.<br />
The organic small holding ‘Green &<br />
Pleasant’ used <strong>the</strong> site of a pre-war<br />
orchard to plant a new orchard at Up<br />
Sydling, featuring local dessert and cider<br />
apple varieties. Volunteers helped plant<br />
<strong>the</strong> apple trees and look forward to open<br />
days and apple festivals at <strong>the</strong> orchard<br />
when it begins to bear fruit.<br />
<strong>Dorset</strong> Knob Throwing<br />
The first <strong>Dorset</strong> Knob Throwing Festival was held in Cattistock<br />
in 2008 to show off <strong>the</strong> fantastic range of local food produced<br />
in <strong>the</strong> area. Despite terrible wea<strong>the</strong>r, over a thousand people<br />
came along to sample <strong>the</strong> local delights - and have fun with<br />
<strong>Dorset</strong> Knob biscuits too!
