Buy Local
How can you help?
- Get involved in the group. If this is a topic that you are interested in
and you would like to help us promote it, please contact Jean (see below) …
- Make simple changes:
- Buy foods that are grown and produced locally whenever you can. You can buy local produce from
farm shops,
farmers’ markets,
box schemes and
Women’s Institute Markets.
- Buy foods that are produced using methods which result in minimal harm to
the environment
- Buy food in bulk, or with the least packaging, and recycle or compost
packaging and food waste.
- Choose meats and dairy products that are local, pasture-fed, organic and
free-range.
- Encourage supermarkets, local shops, pubs and restaurants to stock local
produce.
- Pick your own produce, a popular activity that many farms now
provide, or
- Be more directly involved in growing your own fruit and vegetables
by participating in a Community Supported Agriculture scheme or by having an
allotment or a vegetable patch.
