HARVEST FESTIVAL in partnership with FOOD ON FILM

Join us for a visit to Exeter Growers Co-operative’s 5 acre site on the edge of Exeter as part of Food on Film’s autumn season. The co-op grow delicious organic produce together on the site to promote healthy food, growing knowledge, enjoyment, biodiversity and sustainable use of the land. Their field is an inspiring place with a young orchard, a laid hedge, willow-beds, a wildlife pond, sheds, polytunnels, reservoirs for irrigation and plenty of beds for fruit, vegetables and herbs. Working year-round, the experience of abundance and shortage is part of the experience of the changing seasons and crop cycles.

The visit will start with a tour of the site and a chance to meet some of the members, hear more about how the cooperative came about and how they work together. There will also be the chance to get hands on with some practical growing: this might include helping to harvest fruits and vegetables, weeding, bed preparation, compost turning, and work in the polytunnels.

We will meet at the Exeter Central station where taxis will take us to and from the co-op.

Food on Film is delivered in partnership with the Exeter Food: A University Research Network and the MA Food Studies
