The sustainable food group supports the growing, sharing and marketing of good local food.
We support and encourage reducing food miles.
We encourage growing food locally and sustainably, especially free of chemicals.

Aylsham Farmers’ Market
This is a place where groups and individuals concerned about all aspects to do with the quality of food which we eat can come to share ideas and build partnerships. Some of the conversations we’ve been having recently are about garden sharing, food forests, pay-it-forward schemes and foraging for wild food.

We’d love to hear about your ideas so come and help us to make all these things happen in Aylsham.
