Join us on 21-10-23 for the Food from Your Forest day
Because on that day we launch the Association Food from the Woods! And so a new tradition. It will be a day dedicated to harvesting, celebrating and sharing. There will be space to display, to grab a fruit box or to sit around a campfire and share your story there, to learn new things, to buy, swap and taste and also quite simply, to meet each other.
This Saturday is free to attend, but we do ask that you sign up.
