Welcome to Fairtrade Cornwall - a new umbrella for all businesses and organisations distributing, selling and promoting the use of FairTrade products in Cornwall.

The website www.fairtradecornwall.com has a growing directory of outlets where you can obtain FairTrade goods.

One of our ambitions is to move Saltash Town towards obtaining FairTrade status - perhaps this will be one of our goals for 2009. Fairtrade Fortnight 2009 is from 23rd Feb to 8th March - lets make every day after that a Fair Trade day.

Maureen's wonderful looking Iced Carrot Cake generate a LOT of interest for the guess the number of food miles contest - over 100 entries so patience while we sort through to find the winner (the cake keeps well in an airtight tinSmile )

To recap you were told that the main ingredients were flour, eggs, butter, sugar, orange, walnuts, sultanas, and of course carrots.

And the answer is...

8,463 food miles

...a surprisingly large figure made up as follows:

  • Flour (from Hampshire) 160 miles
  • Eggs - Landrake- 3 miles
  • Carrots -Cornwall, 20 miles
  • Sugar - Paraguay - 5,600 miles by sea
  • Butter - Yeo Valley, Somerset - 80 miles
  • Rind of Orange - Spain- 800 miles
  • Walnuts - France - 300 miles
  • Sultanas - Turkey - 1,500 miles

Many thanks to all those who took part and perhapsstarted to think a bit more about where our food comes from and why food prices are shooting up. Congratulations to our winner (to be announced here shortly)
