ABOUT US

SOMERSET FOOD TRAIL

WHO WE ARE

​The 2022 Food Trail Festival is organised by team of volunteers led by Wells Food Network, a non-profit run by four trustees from across Somerset. Wells Food Network is a member of the national network of Sustainable Food Places, a partnership programme led by the Soil Association, Food Matters and Sustain which encourages a cross-sector approach to tackling failings in our current food system.

​

The first pilot Food Trail was held in 2018, supported by a group of community organisations, including Reimagining The Levels, Somerset Community Food, Somerset Local Food Direct, Sustainable Wells and Green Wedmore. We are grateful for their ongoing support as well as for our network of volunteer cluster coordinators who are passionate about local sustainable food, and without whom this event would simply not be possible. Sincere and heartfelt thanks to all!

​

We believe by putting healthy, sustainable food at the heart of all we do, we can strengthen our communities, conserve our countryside and boost our local economy.'

FUNDERS

We are deeply grateful to all the organisations whose generous financial support has enabled us to put on the Somerset Food Trail Festival. We particularly wish to record our sincere appreciation of the support provided by Martin Stanley, without whose vision and commitment we would not have been able to get this project off the ground.

Somerset Food Trail would like to thank all participating enterprises, hosts, performers, guest curators, individuals and partner organisations for their support, co-operation and enthusiasm, and for their dedication to producing the finest quality, local, sustainable food and drink.
