I have added a more user friendly WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) text editor to this website.  With this in place I hope it will be easier for others to contribute.  I plan to run an evening of training on contributing to this website in the next few weeks, please contact me if you are interested.

Apple StoreSandra and John Payne have recently restored an old hard-wood apple store donated to them by Food Frome member Olivia Edwards. It has ten trays and would store sufficient apples to see an average family through until Easter!

Warminster MaltingsThere were some guided tours of Warminster Maltings as part of the recent Heritage Open Days. Warminster maltings is one of only 4 remaining traditional maltings in the UK. They produce high quality malt from local barley which they sell to small breweries all round the country (and as far abroad as New Zealand). It is well worth a visit if you get the chance. Here are a few pictures.
