Excerpt:
At the heart of the project is an urban farm that will grow fresh fruit, vegetables and herbs on site, supplying produce directly to the café and catering operation. Visitors will be able to see food being grown, harvested and transformed into meals just metres from where it is produced.
Anna da Silva, Chief Executive of Northern Roots, said “Food and urban farming has always been at the core of our vision for Northern Roots. Our café and catering offer will showcase the beautiful fresh produce grown on our farm and we’re really delighted that a chef of Mary-Ellen’s calibre is excited enough by our ambition to want to be a part of the Northern Roots story.”
Mary-Ellen McTague said: “Northern Roots represents something incredibly exciting. There are very few places in the UK attempting to bring together urban farming, nature recovery, community wellbeing and food production at this scale.
“The opportunity to create a genuinely farm-to-fork food offer, where people can see where their food comes from and understand the journey from growing to plate, is something I feel incredibly passionate about. I’m looking forward to helping shape a food experience that reflects the values and ambition of Northern Roots.”
Northern Roots is transforming a former landfill site in the heart of Oldham into a thriving urban farm and eco-park, creating opportunities for people to connect with nature, learn new skills, improve wellbeing and access green careers.
Alongside growing food, the site will feature orchards, community growing spaces, woodland, wetlands, education facilities and a welcome centre with café and catering facilities.
