As part of the York Environment Week, on Saturday, September 24, Alana Kluczkovski, Alice Thomas
and Ulrike Ehgartner from FixOurFood’s local economies team joined Edible York’s Ready Steady
Cook event. Taking place during Food Circle’s regular Saturday Producer Market at Tang Hall
Community Centre, visitors joined Rachel Denton from the Pie Kitchen during her cooking
demonstration. Adding to Rachel’s delicious butternut squash pasta dish and varieties of apples
freshly collected from York’s orchards available to taste, the FixOurFood team provided visitors with
Grow It York microgreen samples, such as micro kale and sunflower shoots. Visitors were also
encouraged to test their knowledge about various environmental costs of growing different foods
and to build a farm of the future.
