What a big delivery

Abbey Leys Visit
I was out and about today having a chat with a local food suppliers - but more about that in a minute.  I popped in to see Janet and Tim at Abbey Leys Farm on Peacock Lane in High Legh.  They host our most local farmer's market which happens monthly on the first Sunday of each month.  That means that you can pop along this coming Sunday to shop for really super local produce.  Tim had just received a delivery of terrific pumpkins - and as you can see one of them almost filled a wheelbarrow.  Until today I thought huge veg like that was only to be seen in county shows.  It certainly made me smile.  They had a lovely array of veg grown in the Farmstart field - which Andrew and I have mentioned in previous blogposts.

The LCL food team are taking stock of their activities at the moment: ensuring their activities match what the local suppliers want, and thinking up some new ideas to enthuse the public about eating local.  We are visiting some of the suppliers to find out what may have changed since we last saw them, and we are interested in hearing from any of you too.  You are very welcome to tell us what you think about our activities, what you would like to see us doing to support local suppliers, or anything about local food & drink generally.  You can email us at lisa.reid0902@gmail.com or pop along to our next LCL meeting in the function room at the Golden Fleece at 1930 on Monday 13th October.
