Food consumption and food access practices are embedded in everyday life and social relationships. This Food Access Guide is developed in partnership with Beechworth Health Service as part of the 2020 Local Food for Local People project. It aims to support a vibrant regional food system, where local people have access to fresh and healthy local food, profits stay in our local communities and community connections are nurtured. Food consumption and food access practices are embedded in everyday life and social relationships. Alpine communities offer many different stores selling fresh groceries, and the wider area abounds with local farms and producers of fruit, vegetables, meat, eggs, cheese, nuts, honey, olives and olive oil. This guide also shares information about where to find local food relief as Covid-19 has both made it difficult for many people in our communities to make ends meet and disrupted social relationships. Food relief options include basic supplies, fresh produce, healthy ready-made meals & vouchers. We have aimed to include food retail outlets, markets, producers, community gardens & food shares as well as emergency food relief offerings in this guide. If we have missed you or a food or community offering that should be included, please let us know so we can update this booklet!
