Campus grown, Campus made
In November 2016 we were successful in receiving £1000 funding to set up a new student enterprise to produce preserves such as pesto, chutney, jams and cordials based on seasonal availability.
On the 9th March 2017 a dedicated group of students launched their social enterprise 'This is Our Jam' with great success.
Purpose:
Through food education and preserve making, students will have the opportunity to gain valuable self-reliance skills and knowledge about both domesticated and wild foods.
They will also be able to experience how to run a real-life business, from production to sales and marketing.
Aim:
The enterprise aims to educate students about sustainable food, giving them access to affordable, good-quality products and instilling invaluable life skills within an inclusive and friendly environment.
