Thank you to everyone who made our World Food Harvest lunch so enjoyable. Fun was had by all! The sun was shining bright for World Food’s harvest lunch. We sat down to a range of delicious delights, including Nepali vegetable curry, Italian pasta, Moroccan chicken tagine, English apple crumble. Loughborough Farm pumpkins and chills featured in several dishes including delicious soup, a yummy pasta salad with fresh greens from the farm and a Farm aubergine babagahoumus dip special!
This Friday some of our Loughborough Farmers will be going to the Tate Modern Community Garden. If you would like to go as well please email [email protected]. We will be meeting at Loughborough Junction train station at 11am. It’s only two stops to Blackfriars where the Tate is located. Some Loughborough Farmers have made alternative plans and will meet the group there around 11.20am.
