Background information
Food Skil will become a Food Cluster comprising of a Biodynamic Market Garden, Community Orchard and retail outlets. It will be run as a social enterprise.

Food Skil will operate in 2 areas;

• Wholesale and Retail sales outlets, including:
o Shops in areas without access to fruit and vegetables (one of these will encompass processing, storage and distribution)
