Peak District Food Heritage Project

The book, Seasons to taste, has been produced as part of the Peak District Food Heritage Project, funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund. 

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 has carried out over forty interviews and brought together the memories collected as a book of reminiscences called Seasons to Taste. 

Material will also be available on listening posts sited in and around Bakewell, and the audio and printed archive will be kept at the Farming Life Centre for future generations.
