What if one simple vegetable could help sow the seeds of a healthier, stronger Cumbria?

Growing healthier futures

Say hello to Cumbrian Carrot Connections – a fresh new project linking schools with the people who grow their food, starting with a familiar favourite: the humble carrot.

We’re inviting Cumbrian schools to explore the joys of local, seasonal food through hands-on experiences. Whether it’s visiting local farms, tasting fresh produce, or learning in the classroom, children will discover the story behind what’s on their plate and why this story matters.

This project is all about:

🥕 Bringing learning to life through real-world food experiences 

🥕 Supporting our local economy and proud farming traditions 

🥕 Inspiring the next generation to eat well and live sustainably

Big change can start with something small. Even as small as a carrot!
