Heritage Communities
Everyone eats, and, in the old
days, most everyone farmed. So all villages, towns
and cities have their own food histories and along
with that, sites associated with food or agriculture.
While France, unique among nations, has over 100
actual museums dedicated to food, many places
on the planet have none--and yet their food history,
as well as their current commitment to awareness
of good, fresh food, is rich and varied. Food
Heritage Communities are those places with historic
sites and traditions, as well as newer institutions
making food history now by promoting and celebrating
the best of food. ( Incidentally, many food sites
lie quietly awaiting discovery--most locales have
not delved much into their food past--that's changing,
of course, and we at The FOOD Museum are supporting
and encouraging such endeavors wherever we find
them. We think that the preservation of food history
is a vital part of any community's story. )
We welcome your suggestions in
identifying communities with food historic sites,
and in locating the people dedicated to preserving
their area's food stories.
