FOOD AND 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.

Did you know? A third of the food we buy in the UK ends up being thrown away. For ideas to cut your food waste visit the Love Food Hate Waste website.
