Tasty treats are in store for foodie enthusiasts in Lincolnshire when the region’s seventh annual Food Festival kicks off at the Pink Pig Farm next month.
The event, on October 3, will see a host of local producers from throughout the Lincolnshire, Yorkshire and Humber region giving visitors the chance to try and buy a huge variety of food and learn more about the journey from field to fork.
Celebrity chef Nigel Brown will be giving healthy cooking demonstrations and showing the crowds how to reduce the amount of food they throw away as part of the Love Food Hate Waste campaign.
Organiser Sally Jackson said: “We source a wide range of local foods to sell in the Farm Shop alongside our own home-cured bacon and prize-winning sausages, including local milk and ice cream, honey, crisps, bread, chocolate, cheesecakes, fishcakes, cheeses, preserves and meats.
“The Food Festival acts as a real showcase for regional producers, giving them an opportunity to demonstrate to visitors how locally-sourced food is not only more environmentally friendly than produce from farther afield, but also fantastic quality and great value for money.”
The event has a community focus and is the only one in the north of England which devotes a whole day, on October 1, to local children, allowing more than 400 of them to see farming in action.
Nigel Brown will also be on hand to show children some easy-to-make, healthy recipes.
As well as opening up the real farming experience to children, Pink Pig Farm works with other local businesses and charities and has recently collaborated with a number of agencies, including MIND, to create a community garden to help show people from all walks of life how to grow vegetables, which are then sold in the farm shop.
Entry to the Food Festival is free and visitors can also enjoy a meal or snack in the café and browse in the farm shop, which was recently named one of the ten best in the UK by The Times.
