Cheese Board by Taste of Dorset 2015 award winner Chalke Valley Cheese
A new food fair celebrating local food is set to bring producers, retailers and customers together to showcase products made in the Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).
Cheeses, artisan bread, fish, meats, biscuits, cakes, and a refreshing cider or a mellow glass of wine – it sounds like the perfect ingredients for a summer picnic on the stunning Cranborne Chase. But did you know that all of these delicious local products are actually made in the Cranborne Chase area?
To raise awareness of the range of quality local food and drink produced locally, the AONB, in partnership with the South West Wiltshire Area Board, are hosting a Food Fair at the Larmer Tree Gardens on Wednesday 20 April to bring producers and retailers and consumers together.
During the morning local businesses who use or supply foods, including pubs, restaurants, B&Bs, hotels, farm shops, village stores and supermarkets will be invited to meet the producers and sample and learn more about locally produced food with a view to including it on their menus, or stocking it in their stores.
From 1pm the food fair will be open to the general public, no need to bring a picnic, there will be lots of food on offer and the stunning Larmer Tree Gardens will be open to explore, so people can enjoy a wonderful afternoon out discovering the taste of the Chase.
Stands are free to producers in the Cranborne Chase AONB area. To find out more about the event contact Rachel Limb on 07976 222260, or email rachel@whitesheepprojects.co.uk
