New energy injection into Stanford Food Heroes

New energy injection into Stanford Food Heroes

Gansbaai Courant

A small, dedicated group of people created the Stanford Food Heroes brand a few years ago.

Their goal was to link consumers with food growers, food producers, and suppliers in the Stanford area, and to get everyone excited about the excellent fresh produce and artisanal foods in the surrounding area of Stanford.

Despite of them falling out of the limelight the past two years, the Stanford Food Heroes still exists, but now new energy is being injected into the group.

Assisted by Marcelle du Preez and Robert Bell (White Water Farm), Stanford Tourism means to revive this brand and shout its unique features to the public.

This is great news for foodies - both local and visiting. With increased exposure, great Stanford Food Heroes produce will be at your fingertips at local markets, in local restaurants, and even from small local businesses which have expressed interest in stocking Stanford Food Heroes produce.

Produce from the Stanford Food Heroes can be relied upon to be local and fresh, grown and produced in sustainable and environmentally-friendly ways as far as possible, to support local food initiatives and educational programmes, to be free from harmful chemicals as much as possible, and to made or grown by dedicated locals who believe first in quality. The Stanford Food Heroes network will include small seasonal growers, larger scale growers, producers and restaurants and it will work in partnership with educational  programmes  and feeding projects like Green Futures and Food4Thought.

Shoppers will no longer have to wait for occasional markets to find the fresh array of produce and prepared items which are so popular in this area, and with the support of local restaurants will also source locally as far as possible. 

Stanford Food Heroes does not profit any individual member, and the network means to link everyone for the greater benefit of all members.

Stanford Food Heroes also plans  to  run  an annual charity event which focuses on food, and means to encourage more sustainable growing projects.

The Stanford Food Heroes plan a launch event on Heritage Day, 24 September 2017. Working together with Stanford Conservation Trust, the heroes will bring together an event on the Stanford Market Square, the theme of which will be ‘Heritage on a Plate’.

Funds raised will be donated to local charities.

Stanford restaurants are encouraged to source locally, or even include a Stanford Food Heroes dish made from only local ingredients.
