Stewart Pomeroy, Colne Valley Team Manager said “We want to show local people the wide variety of high quality food that is produced on their doorstep in, and around, the Colne Valley. Come along and buy lamb from Iver rather than New Zealand, sausages from Chalfont and vegetables from Iver, Denham and Horn Hill.”
Stewart added, “Forget the weekly trip to the supermarket and come along to obtain high quality local produce, support the local economy and help maintain the countryside landscape in the Colne Valley area. Spread the word and bring your friends, relatives and neighbours.”
The event will also include short ‘wild food’ walks at 12:30pm and 2pm led by Joan Clarke of Kingcup Farm, Denham who will demonstrate the wide variety of food that can be obtained from fields and hedgerows.
