Reading Town Meal

See the Reading Town Meal website for latest news.

Reading Town Meal aims to celebrate and promote home grown and locally produced food. Food4families developed Reading Town Meal as part of its broader vision for a significant increase in the amount of food grown locally and more sustainably. This embraces a broad approach to sustainability, incorporating economic, health and well-being, community capacity and resilience, and carbon reduction aspects.

The Town Meal was held in the Forbury.

The event was free and open to anyone living in and around Reading.

And there was dessert! It looks like a wonderful fruit crumble.

Some after dinner entertainment.

Some food for thought...

Some apple pressing issues, to see how much juice can be extracted.
