Making it easier to know where to go…

BREAZE has a lot of information regarding local food, what it means, how to help and where to find it. The results of the member survey show you guys have a huge desire to know more about local food. Information BREAZE provides needs to be relevant and easily accessible to members.

This in mind, we feel it is time for a re-design of the Local Food section on the BREAZE website. How will we do this? By beginning at the start and identifying the type information to share, what format and how it will appear by creating a site map. If you would like to get involved, or simply put forward some suggestions, please don’t hesitate to contact the Local Food Group co-ordinator, This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
