Frome is prepped and ready to take part in this year’s Somerset Food Trail Festival thanks to support from residents in Frome Town Council’s People’s Budget Event vote.
Taking place from Friday 15th to Sunday 24th July, the mouth-watering food festival is a countrywide farm to fork showcase celebrating local, sustainably produced food. This year Frome’s beloved food producers and retailers will feature for the first time in the exciting programme of 170 venues across Somerset.
Numerous providers are opening their doors for visitors with an opportunity to see behind the scenes, enjoy delicious tastings and be inspired by the quality of fresh and local produce. Local businesses taking part include Vallis Veg, the Frome Food Hub, Frome Field 2 Fork, Rye Bakery, Marston Park, Medowsweet Beef and Palette and Pasture as well as Frome Community Fridge.
Cllr Mark Dorrington said, “Frome has a reputation for doing things differently and the local food scene is no exception. From our wonderful independent high street to the many vibrant markets – explore the ways our local producers are demonstrating how farming can benefit people and planet.”
As part of Frome’s activities, the Open Road Experience are offering E-Bike tours of participating venues local to Frome. Find out more and book a tour here.
