This year’s Wye Food Festival – between Saturday June 15th and Sunday June 23rd – is on the theme of good clean local food. You’ll be able to see where local meat, fruit and vegetables are grown, and discover how local bread, sausages, chutneys and cheese are made. There’ll be dishes using locally-produced food in Wye’s pubs and restaurants, and opportunities to produce your own real food. And with food goes drink, including a special Wye beer. It’ll be a world away from highly-processed, mass-produced food... And there’s a new theme this year – food walks. As part of plans by the Wye Business Association to make “Walkers are Welcome” in Wye, the Food Festival will include some lovely local walks, both gentle and more adventurous, taking in food (and drink) in Wye past and present. For more information, go to www.wyefood.org.uk or email wyefood@gmail.com. The Festival is coordinated by the Wye Business Association’s Food Group, which includes Wye Bakery, Ripple Farm Organics , Wye Community Farm, Wye Butchers and Deli, the King’s Head, Wife of Bath, New Flying Horse, the Tickled Trout, Wooden Spoon, and many more.
