Thanks to the Community Growing and Food Network coordinator for inviting us to this tour and discussion about food in County Durham. It was lovely to connect with old friends and meet new people passionate about the power of good food - for health, communities and the planet. The next gathering will take place on Thursday 15th October but I think the theme is yet to be decided 🤔.
