LOCAVORE:
a person whose diet consists only or principally of locally grown or produced food.
THE LOCAVORE GROWING PROJECT is a community growing project created by Custom Folkestone C.I.C. The project aims to work with the community to embed food resilience and security.
We’re a community of gardeners who are passionate about food – where food comes from, how it’s grown, it’s potential to tell a story, to connect people to each other, to nature, to heritage, to discover long lost sustainable practices, to help reimagine a food system outside of capitalism.
Together, we will be developing a local Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) project that re-connect our community with it’s land.
