What could a community supermarket look like in Frome?

As the cost of food escalates, more and more communities are forming localised buying groups as an alternative to conventional retail.

Without forgetting how we could make such a model work not just for the Frome 'community', but the community of farmers, processors, and others integral to the production of local and sustainable food, community supermarkets will be the main topic for exploration at the FFN's next Future Shed Friday meetup, taking place from 10am on the 20th Jan.

Other than that, the session will be a good opportunity to catch up on what's happening, and what's soon to happen, within the network. Save your spot
