Food that doesn't cost the Earth!
"The inaugural food festival last year was a huge success with over 2,000 people coming along to enjoy a wide variety of cookery demos and classes as well as the opportunity tolearn more about, try and purchase quality local food. With around 40 local suppliers coming together, the festival promises to be even better in 2010!"
The date of the festival is timed to coincide with the international day of carbon reduction on Sunday 10 October.
10:10 is a nationwide campaign to get individuals, businesses and organisations to commit to reduce their carbon emissions by 10% in 2010, and working together to make it happen.

Dartmoor is a special place, with many small, independent businesses, producing a huge variety of food and drink. The Dartmoor Food and Drink Festival is bringing them together under one roof to promote all the benefits of producing, buying and cooking with local food.
The producers will be joined by a host of Dartmoor’s top chefs who will be showing off their skills over the weekend, as well as cookery classes for children, apple pressing, rural skills demonstration and Dartmoor burgers on sale there will be stalls from a wide range of Dartmoor food and drink producers.
The festival is also one of the key events during the Dartmoor and Exmoor Low Carbon Festival weekend and highlights the importance of a vibrant local food economy and how we can adapt to the ever growing pressures on our resources.
