Ye-HaCheeses Saves!
What a Friend in Cheeses
An accidental stumble into the region's local paper reveals that Cheddar continues its artisanal traditions. I'm always easily seduced by rustic online promises of handmade ciders, ruddy yokels overcharging at farmers markets and anything whatsoever to do with goat's milk.
The colossally cool thing about this little foodie-propelled community, however, is that they're striving to make it an all Fairtrade zone.
As aforementioned, I'm all for a fromage fuelled revolution. When everyday folk dare to question the might of liberalised economies in these practical ways, I'm so very impressed.
Food and community have, until the current era, always been so intertwined. It is genuinely heartening to see people abandon the cult of the individual just for a moment to refigure their local and international communities.
