The Food AssemblyHackney Downs Food Assembly Host
May. 2014 - Oct. 2015Hackney Downs StudiosThe Hackney Downs FA is part of The Food Assembly, a startup company facilitating people to get together and buy food directly from local farmers and foodmakers – making middlemen obsolete. The platform enables people to place their order online & buy seasonal food produced locally. Once a week the weekly pop-up food market takes place at The Russet, in Hackney Downs Studios, where members come to pick up their orders, meet the local producers & foodmakers and mingle with their fellow, like-minded neighbours. As such, we are an online marketplace as well as a vibrant community; both elements equally important to our model. At the Hackney Downs FA we've teamed up with 8 great local producers to bring high quality, local & seasonal food to the buzzing Hackney Downs area . Our mission? To change the way people buy and consume food. www.hackneydownsfoodassembly.com
