Meeting up with friends and family for lunch and choosing one of the many world food options washed down with a local beer, cider, perry or wine whilst listening to a local band. Does life get much better than this?

One of the most satisfying things to do is to purchase locally produced food and this way you get the freshest ingredients for your kitchen and also get to support local businesses.

In addition to this, these same businesses will employ local staff so you are also assisting the local economy, so everybody wins!

We also visit a bi-monthly farmer’s market held in the local town, which not only has a fantastic array of locally sourced/grown produce, but is also introducing our daughter to the provenance of what she eats. The prices are generally very good for vegetables and you will pay a little more for meat, however the quality and taste is fantastic. They are all local suppliers and with several of them in one place, you generally get to benefit from healthy competition and get to sample a lot of food!
