Bremenda Isaf Heritage Project

With innovative food initiatives now taking place across the county, we’re building on this excitement by developing a creative storytelling project that will reflect the county’s own heritage and tell an important part of Carmarthenshire’s food story.

Telling Sir Gâr’s Food Story

Carmarthenshire is blessed with a landscape that stretches from mountaintop to shoreline, with a temperate climate, some rich soils and a legacy of mixed farming that continued to well within living memory. Much of the county’s rural culture has been linked to the production of food and the farming year, and this has generated a wealth of sayings, traditions, recipes and customs that remain alive or within reach.  

With innovative food initiatives now taking place across the county, we’re building on this excitement by developing a creative storytelling project that will reflect the county’s own heritage and tell an important part of Carmarthenshire’s food story.

Based at Bremenda Isaf Farm in 2024, we ran workshops with a range of schools, groups and communities talking about the farm’s history of food production and working with creative practitioners to produce a range of art, poetry, textiles and songs that reflect the land, history and culture.
