ABOUT US The Somerset Food Trail Festival is organised by a team of volunteers led by the Sustainable Food Somerset charity, an alliance of individuals and organisations passionate about making healthy, sustainably grown food accessible to all. Sustainable Food Somerset is a member of the national network of Sustainable Food Places , a programme led by the Soil Association, Food Matters and Sustain which encourages a cross-sector approach to tackling failings in our current food system. "Much of our farmland no longer produces the food evolution prepared us for. It's happened as a result of poor science and corportate ruthlessness, and our own lack of interest. The good news? If we all get stuck in, we can fix this." – Graham Harvey, journalist, author, former agricultural story editor for The Archers and Sustainable Food Somerset Trustee UPDATE FROM THE ORGANISERS, SUSTAINABLE FOOD SOMERSET GROWING A LOCAL FOOD REVOLUTION Last year was a 'fallow year' for the Food Trail as we took a break in 2024, but a busy time for our team as, first, we merged with fellow local food champions Somerset Community Food and became a charity, then launched a new regenerative farming conference, called LandAlive , in partnership with the Royal Bath & West of England Society and Somerset Council. We're pleased to say LandAlive was a huge success, attracting some 550 delegates from the South West and far beyond, convening nearly 80 national name speakers – including many of our country's leading regenerative farming pioneers – all doing their bit to catalyse change. Read our report of the event here . Help us to grow a local food revolution We're looking for trustees and supporters to help us work towards a fairer, more nature-friendly and resilient food system.
