Children tuck into locally sourced and produced school meals
Local Food Links use local produce to make hot meals for schools in the Bridport area of Dorset.
Making Local Food Work will enable them to increase their customer base to include more schools and other outlets such as cafes and restaurants, food and lunch clubs and elderly people's services.
Highlights from the work include:
School meals
The project is now delivering hot school meals to 21 schools. A report on the development of this work explores the challenges and opportunities that the project has faced.
In February 2009, the service was awarded the Catering Gold Mark under the Soil Association's Food For Life Partnership scheme. It was the first supplier in the country to get this award. One of the criteria for the award is that at least 50pct of the ingredients used have to be locally sourced.
Catering for elderly people
Local Food Links is working to apply the social enterprise model they have developed for school catering to deliver catering services to lunch clubs, care homes and day centres for elderly people.
