Global Green's award winning Food Project
"
"Global Green's award winning Food Project is back for its 4th year at Electric Picnic. Situated on the edge of the picnic in the
chilled out area of Global Green, Food Project is bringing together sustainable communities through creating menus that
directly reflect the agriculture of our region. Making the decision to be more conscious of how the food we eat affects our
environment, we make our menus backwards to shorten our food chain and to service the farmer as much as we wish to
service the table. We are using the constraints of our local agriculture to help shape our menus as well as offer us the most
flavourful foods around. Through using a network of about 15 farmers, growers, producers, makers and bakers and taking
integral, yet uncelebrated crops from Cloughjordan Ecovillage, we're bringing you the most wholesome and consciously created
food offering at Electric Picnic 2016. Join us in Global Green for McKennas Guides 2014 "Best Food at Electric Picnic Award"
breakfasts, coffee, ice cream, NutShed treats and hearty all day offerings for herbivores and carnivores alike.
"
Where our food comes from:
Cloughjordan Community Farm,
Riot Rye Bakery, Cloughjordan
Sunny Meadow Farm, Portumna
Mossfield Dairy Farm, Birr
The Apple Farm, Cahir
Walsh's Bake House- Blaas
Crowes Farm- Dundrum

Electric Picnic asking festival goers to donate their tents to Refugees
"
This year there will be an opportunity for all those attending the Electric Picnic to help refugees trapped in the ‘Jungle’ refugee
camp in Calais. Festival goers will be asked to donate their used tents and sleeping mats after the festival, with tent donations
points available at every campsite as well the Global Green area inside the main arena.
Róisín Garvey of Green-Schools is coordinating the plan and will drive all the donated tents over to Calais in October where
they will be badly needed before the winter sets in.
"
‘Having seen the amount of good as new tents people leave behind after festivals and having seen in Calais how useful they
would be, as there is so much waste at Festivals and so much want in Calais’ said Róisín who is going to personally deliver the
tents after the Festival.
"
“Green-Schools in Ireland teach children all the time about reusing and not wasting stuff so why not expect the same from
adults? Especially when there are over 7000 refugees including over 700 unaccompanied minors with literally only the shirts on
their back in Calais”.
"
The Electric Picnic organisers have been very supportive of the initiative and Global Green in particular are happy to allow
tents to be dropped off there. Green-Schools Officers and many volunteers are going to come on site and help Roisin on the
Monday gather all the donated tents and sleeping mats.
