As in recent years, the fair will be installed in the Parc de la Ciutadella from September 20 to 22..

Local producers’ market, talks…
One more year there will be a market of small producers with Pinullet Queseria Urbana, VÄCKA, Casanovas Cansaladers, Nomdonalagana jams, Organic Africa Chocolate and FORNO BOMBA.
In addition , the fair also pursues social sustainability with the recruitment of staff from catering and training schools working with groups at risk of social exclusion. In this edition they have the collaboration of Mescladís, an entity rooted in the city and a benchmark of social cohesion.

There will also be talks, workshops and activities, with sustainability as the central axis, in l’Aula de Cuina. You can consult here all the activities and their schedules.

The premise of Terra i Gust is to take care of the health of the planet without neglecting the pleasure of good food, healthy and sustainable, with products made with love and that at the same time take care of the environment. That is why they publish a Sustainability Manifesto. And also why it is available information about producers, allergens and the environmental impact of each recipe, thanks to the specialized tool Calcuteca.
