Food Producers

Great British food producers abound within our shores as well as along them, but for the consumer it is all a matter of finding out who they are and where they are located… or if you are dining out, which restaurants, bistros, inns and other eating out establishments use good locally produced food. We hope that this new website will provide you with an invaluable resource to help you search out new delights to savour and enjoy.

Television seems to be dominated by food programmes in this era of celebrity chefs, but it isn’t really surprising as food is the basis of survival and its enjoyment can serve as a great social pleasure. And as society continues to seek out and follow new trends and innovation, it is certainly a most worthwhile to consider the valid motivation that has prompted them. In these days of global warming and its associated dangerous consequences of climate change it certainly seems logical to save on product transport miles and therefore help protect this fragile planet of ours by buying locally-produced food.

Other current considerations are the quality and origins of the food that we eat as this can positively impact directly on our health as well as enhancing the taste and food experience that it can provide. Major worthwhile and beneficial initiatives include the drive towards organic farming and organically produced foodstuffs, as well as towards animal welfare and happy animals.

There are many food categories to choose from including such as;
Beverages
Meat, Poultry and Game
Fish and Seafood
Dairy Produce & Eggs
Prepared and Smoked Products
Bakers & Confectioners
Desserts
Preserves, Honey, Dressings and Sauces

Sustainability is the optimum target in that balance between the economic necessities of life and the ‘Green’ movement. And why should we buy imported foodstuffs when we can help sustain and increase local employment and encourage the economies of the different countries of the British Isles.

We should all certainly think more deeply about what we are eating and where it has come from as there are serious implications for the health of our bodies and their efficiency… as well as the considerations for increased local employment and economic growth at home… plus the broader implications for the global environment of this unique blue planet that we all live on and which will be the home to our children and future generations.
