Frome Food Network Future Shed Residency
2023
In spring 2023, Frome Food Network enetered into a residency – in parrallel with four other community networks and part of Green & Healthy Frome’s Climate Action bid – at Future Shed.
The residency’s main objective wass to rally and engage the public, and connect FFN members, around food in the context of climate and health. The FFN planned and supported several events including farm walks, field trips, and ‘edible discussions’ as part of that objective.
For more information on the FFN residency, contact Future Shed’s Sue Palmer, or Hugh from FFN.
2024
In spring 2024, FFN entered into a second residency with Future Shed.
This year, its objective became more focused, and involved embarking on a ‘communal eating project’ (later named Canteen) seeking to bring Frome residents together to share delicious, wholesome, and affordable food. Largely, the project is inspired by The Long Table in Stroud, among other initiatives across the country.
2025
FFN and its Canteen project enters into its final residency with Future Shed, as it seeks to gague levels of interest, and tweak and expand on the concept.
For more info on the progress of the communal eating project, contact Sue at Future Shed or Hugh from FFN.
