Croissants & Questions 'Sustainable food production & local supply chain'

Join us for our May ‘Croissants & Questions’ business breakfast, in collaboration with The Growth Hub Cirencester, at The Royal Agricultural University (RAU). ☕🥐

This month we will focus on sustainable food production, with a spotlight shone on local food supply chain.

Indeed, we are delighted to be joined by guest speakers Darren Sharp and Annie Landless.

🍳 Darren Sharp, Executive Head Chef at the RAU 🍳

Darren will discuss his passion for locally sourced, sustainably produced seasonal produce and how he has brought this passion into the RAU’s catering for students, conferences and events.

🚜 Annie Landless, Ampney Brook Farm 🚜

Ampney Brook Farm is a local organic and regenerative farm producing 100% grass-fed beef, population and heritage grains and no-dig fruit, vegetables and salads. Annie oversees the farm and market garden as well as relationships with mills, butchers, brewers and restaurants, and will share her insights into the sector.

After their talks and a Q&A, there will be the opportunity to visit the FWAG GREAT Zerodig site on the RAU campus, where you will meet Rachel Wheatley, Head Grower. Rachel is passionate about growing high nutrition produce in a sustainable way and marketing it to the local community. 🌾

Please note the site is a 10-minute walk from the Alliston Centre, so we recommend you wear robust, comfortable shoes if you would like to visit the site. Those who do not wish to visit the site are more than welcome to stay at the Alliston Centre and finish the croissants!
