Food Heritage Project

Launched in November 2006, this project celebrates the Peak District’s food heritage by capturing memories and stories of local food producers, retailers, workers, farmers and consumers.  Working in partnership with writer David Fine and a team of volunteers coordinated by Read On Write Away!, the Farming Life Centre will bring together the memories collected as a book of reminiscences to be called “Seasons to Taste”.  Material will also be available on listening posts sited in and around Bakewell.  The project has been funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
