Join the Devon Food Partnership and Food Drink Devon for a relaxed evening at Greendale Farm Shop exploring how sustainable practices can help support your food or drink business.
Hear case studies from other local food and drink businesses about their sustainability journeys and gain insight into how environmental and social sustainability could strengthen your enterprise.
Where: Greendale Farm Shop, Farringdon, Exeter, EX5 2JU
When: Thursday 19 September, 18:00-22:00
Case studies include:
- Greendale Farm Shop – a farm shop near Exeter powered by an on-farm anaerobic digestor and committed to local, sustainable food.
- Two Drifters Distillery – producers of carbon negative rum using 100% renewable energy and low carbon packaging and transport.
- Sharpham Dairy – the UK’s first dairy cheesemaker to become a certified B Corp, dedicated to supporting the community and environment.
- Owens Coffee – South Hams based coffee roastery sourcing only organic and fairtrade coffee from ethical estates and using 100% recyclable packaging.
There will be plenty of opportunity to ask questions and network with likeminded businesses. All attendees will also be given access to a digital booklet of additional written case studies and information about available business support programmes.
Complementary hake and chips will be provided, responsibly-fished from Greendale’s own boats working out of Newlyn (alternatives are available for those with dietary requirements). Elderflower cordial will also be available, and the bar will be open for the purchase of other drinks.
