I’ve had a wonderful time exploring the delicious locally sourced possibilities with Food Assembly these past few weeks. And now here’s a chance for you to say yes to local and have a go shopping for fresh, healthy and ethically sourced food directly from your local farmers and food producer… for free.
However you find pleasure and sustenance in your provisions, Food Assembly helps assemble a week’s worth of gorgeous groceries. Started in France in 2010 and now with “assemblies” sprouting up across Europe (I’ve heard this concept is especially popular in Spain), there are already with more than a dozen assembly points in London alone.
Here’s how it works:
Order online
Choose from a wide range of local products: fruit, vegetables, bread, cheese, meat, beer and much more… it is up to you how much you buy and how often!
Collect Your Order
Every week your Assembly takes place in a local venue. Collect your order from here and meet both the people behind your food and your neighbours.
Eat Better
Every season taste the freshest food available in your region.
Shop Fairly
Support your local producers and economy! In each Assembly producers set their own prices and receive an income that is both fair for them and good for the local economy.
I really enjoyed my Food Assembly shopping experience. Hosts and producers present (at the Roman Road assembly) were all super friendly, avid and enthusiastic about their products. There were plenty of samples and nibbles on hand as well as a lovely community-spirit about the casual event that made mingling with the producers and other shoppers a delight.
Sounds like a great alternative to slogging your way through the aisles of the supermarket, right?

I like the sound of this! Lovely giveaway and Roman Road is a really vibrant area – perfect for this kind of ‘assemby’.
Agreed! Definitely look into where your local “assembly” is and it a try. Thanks for taking the time to comment 🙂
