Children who take the Morrisons Foodmaker & Shopkeeper Tour will now be taught about the journey of British food from farm to store.<\/p>\n
Morrisons has added the British Food Module to its existing tours to show youngsters where fresh food comes from, teaching them how shorter delivery distances benefit the environment and how choosing British supports local farmers and producers.<\/p>\n
The Foodmaker & Shopkeeper Tours help bring British food to life in a fun and engaging way for children and inspire the next generation of foodmakers.<\/p>\n
Swapping the classroom for Morrisons Market Street, the Foodmaker & Shopkeeper Tours are available to children aged 5 to 9 years old, across schools, Scout groups, children\u2019s local community groups and more. As visiting children tour their local Morrisons store, they are invited to meet Market Street foodmakers, from skilled butchers and bakers to fishmongers, who serve up fresh, quality British food every day to customers. Here they are given practical demonstrations of where local food comes from and how it is made.<\/p>\n
Following a Market Street walk-around, the new module will finish with educational British food-themed activities in the store caf\u00e9 or community room.<\/p>\n
Morrisons is British\u00a0farming\u2019s biggest customer \u2013 supporting, growing and championing more farmers than any other supermarket, working directly with\u00a02,500\u00a0farmers and growers all year round.<\/p>\n
Joseph Clark-Bland, Community & Foundation Manager at Morrisons, said: \u201cAs a fresh food retailer and British farming\u2019s single biggest customer we think it\u2019s really important that children understand where their food comes from.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur stores are full to the brim with British food, and our skilled butchers, bakers and fishmongers serve up fresh British food every day on our Market Street, so we\u2019re in a unique position to help educate children in our local communities on the benefits of eating British, and hopefully inspire the next generation of foodmakers!\u201d<\/p>\n
