Samhain Festival of Food & Culture Launch

The Centre of Food Culture, Boyne Valley, believes preserving and celebrating our food culture, past, present and future, we will enhance people’s relationship with food, connect them to the source of their food and the people who produce it. When we speak about food we also include our rich heritage in brewing, distilling and drink production. Our purpose is to facilitate greater connectivity between food, people, soil and sea. We plan to do this by creating the first national Centre of Food Culture, based in the Boyne Valley.

We will leverage our connections nationally to create satellite locations and build international partnerships over time. This centre will facilitate education, discussion, enterprise and advocacy of our food culture for current and future generations. We will strengthen the connections between all stakeholders be they consumers, food producers, food professionals, state agencies, communities, academic institutions locally, nationally and internationally.
