Calder Food Hub – January Update

In December the company has been preparing to administrate grant funding from the Local Food Programme for the development of a local food system in Hebden Bridge.

As well as regular volunteer visits to our two projects at Hebden Bridge Library and Hope St Baptist Church, Hebden Bridge, we have been helping in the harvesting of Jerusalem Artichokes at the ‘Fruits and Roots’ site at Callis Mill. We aim to raise the profile of this easy to manage root vegetable with recipe and information sheets at the outlets where they are sold. The bitter frosts in December meant we had to be quick when the opportunity arose.
