Let’s celebrate our local food and environment – Transition Woodbridge

Let’s celebrate our local food and environment

Transition Woodbridge has produced its updated version of our Local Food and Drink leaflet for 2023, a guide to food & drink producers, retailers & eateries around Woodbridge and Melton. You may already have a copy and, we hope, find it useful in your search for fresh, seasonal food produced to high environmental and welfare standards, supporting our local economy and jobs and grown just a few miles from where you live. To create closer links with the producers we have invited some of them to showcase their goods at our Harvest Fair in Whisstocks Place from 10 ‘til 4 on Saturday, 7 October. We want to celebrate the harvest gathered in recent weeks in our part of Suffolk. Some of the best of our local food producers will be there, including High House Farm and Oak Tree Community Farm selling the fruit and vegetables grown in their orchards and farms, the Tidemill selling the flour stoneground in the nearby Mill from locally grown wheat, Truly Traceable from Halesworth with  their venison and game pies, Hullabaloo bakery, which uses Tidemill flour in some of its bread, with a range of delicious baked goods and Woodbridge Country Market with their garden produce, homemade cakes, jams and other preserves.

Transition Woodbridge also works to protect and enhance our environment, aims it shares with Suffolk Wildlife Trust, Ipswich Wildlife Group, Suffolk Bird Group and Churches Together who will be coming to the Fair to show the valuable work they do and bring exciting activities for children. There will be live music, DJs and performers presented in collaboration with Woodbridge Festival of Art and Music. Looking forward to seeing see you at Whisstocks Place on Saturday 7 October and if you haven’t found one of our Local Food and Drink leaflets yet, you’ll be able to pick one up at our Transition Woodbridge stall.
