Food - What are we doing?

View this page in Welsh / Gweld y tudalen hwn yn Gymraeg


We regularly work with partners to ensure that good quality, sustainably-sourced food reaches those who need it, and to offer solutions for recycling food and packaging waste.

This page is designed to show you some examples of the food sustainability work the Council is doing as part of Project Zero.


Taste of the Vale food and drink directory

We launched a new online Taste of the Vale food and drink directory to help connect residents and visitors with the amazing local producers across our county.


Available on the Visit the Vale website, the directory celebrates the Vale’s rich food and farming heritage, offering a guide to local farms, vineyards, dairies, bakeries, fruit and vegetable growers, and more. It encourages seasonal eating and supports a stronger connection between people, the food they eat, and the countryside where it’s produced.




Big Fresh Catering Company Evenlode Primary investment

During the past few years, The Big Fresh Catering Company, who provide catering services for many schools in the Vale, offer schools funding to support wellbeing projects that benefit pupils.

Evenlode Primary School in Penarth used their grant to create inclusive outdoor spaces that support both play and emotional wellbeing.

Their new facilities include a giant natural xylophone, outdoor musical instruments, willow huts, mini rainbow rooms, a mud kitchen, and sensory equipment like jumbo magnifying glasses.

These additions have not only provided fun and stimulating activities but also calm, quiet areas where pupils can take time out when needed.
