I thought that some of you might be interested in supporting local farmers by logging on to bigbarn.co.uk - it's a great site with a great idea. You can enter your post code to find out all of the places you can buy local produce in your area - farm shops etc'. Also if you register on the site, you will be joining a petition to try to persuade the supermarkets to give a small area in store for local producers. As it says on the site, you would be:
"helping to persuade supermarkets to give local farmers space in store to sell their produce and take 75% of the retail price ( A big increase on the average of 9p in every £1 they currently get). The more people we have registered the more likely we are to get a local food section in your local supermarket."
Reducing the number of miles that food travels, and the number of 'middle men' it goes through, from the producer to the plate has to be: good for flavour; good for farmers and good for the environment - cutting down on fuel use and packaging.
If you like this idea, please check it out and then tell all your friends and family about it.
