Food & Drink
Where does your food come from?
Food is now travelling further than ever to reach our
dinner plates, on average a whopping 1,500 miles!
The fuel used to transport food long distances is polluting the
environment and taking a large bite from our dwindling natural
resources. Why not buy from local producers and help to
reduce your impact on the environment?
Worcestershire has many growers and producers of delicious food
and drink. From the Famous Lea & Perrins Worcester Sauce or
Malvern Hills Spring Water to Asparagus from the Vale of Evesham
and delicious fresh produce from across the County.
Why Buy Locally?
- Food will be fresher and healthier.
- You will strengthen your local economy by supporting local
producers and businesses.
- You will reduce your impact on the environment by reducing your
food miles- the amount of fuel used to transport your food.
- You can meet the producers and better understand - Where, When
and How your food was produced.
