The Month of Taste is a nationwide food festival designed to celebrate brilliant British local foods. Organised by FARMA, the National Farmers' Retail & Markets Association, the Month of Taste takes place in Farm Shops and on Pick Your Own farms, at Farmers' Markets and on-farm restaurants, and anywhere else you can find great, genuine British local food. This year's event runs from 13 June to 19 July when the fields are full of ripened fruit and fresh veg, from asparagus to squash. It's also a great time to enjoy fresh cheeses, handmade ice-cream, seasonal fish, Spring lamb, and the ubiquitous BBQ. Farms and farmers' markets will be a hive of activity this summer, with events happening across the UK. We will be updating the website regularly with news, features, stories, recipes, and seasonal info. |
